Black Friday Predictions

Each year I predict the lowest pricing we’ll see for a variety of tech products during Black Friday.  Last year I predicted we’d see notebook computers selling for as low $299.  In fact Walmart sold a notebook for $198 on Black Friday.  This year I’m predicting the lowest prices we’ll see for notebook computers will be $250 – actually higher than last year. Tonight Walmart’s Black Friday circulate was leaked and it highlighted a notebook computer for $250 – consistent with my forecast and higher than last year’s price.  You can see Walmart’s entire circulate here.
