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.
