Buying Consumer Electronics Tips & Advice
January 03, 2008
Jan 03, 2008 -- /prbuzz/ --As you know buying consumer electronics and tech products can be a challenge when you have various options & styles, multiple product choices, and often times complications when trying to get your new tech products up & running. Here are the top 10 advice tips to help you when buying amazing tech products!

1. Know What You Want & Really Need In A Product
Do a quick checklist of what you really need in a tech product. Do you really need 6 USB ports in your laptop? Do you really want an MP3 player that plays karaoke files? Certain features add cost to the product and if you don’t need those features then no need to pay extra for a product that has them.

2. Start Off By Considering A Brand You Can Trust
Companies like Sony, HP, SanDisk, and Apple don’t become global brands without having high quality products and world class support. I’m not suggesting you only by leading brands, but suggesting you take caution before buying a tech product by a no name company when buying new & innovative products


3. Read The Warranty
Consider the warranty as a decision factor on your tech product purchase. Really good tech products come with good warranties. Often times on the back of the package you will see the warranty the company offers…90 day limited warranty, 1 year? You want to buy a product in which covers you well in case things go wrong.


4. Read Product Reviews
You will often find the truth by review critics like Cnet or even reviews on amazon posts that tell you if the product really lives up to it’s claims. Bottom line is read product reviews and take note of the ones with high ratings & stars.



5. Don’t buy the first product that hits the shelf of a new tech product launch
Tech companies sometimes rush in shipping to make hard deadlines and at times products hit shelves with known issues and bugs or require firmware upgrades. Sometimes it’s wise to wait 30 days after new products hit shelves in which more stable devices with improved firmware gets shipped. Additionally, often times around 2-3 months after launch the price will come down on the product

6. Check For Firmware Updates
Again a lot of tech products ship and sit on shelves and in the mean time new & better firmware or software comes out to improve the product in which you don’t get unless you check to upgrade. So check out the product’s website at the manufacturer to download the latest to upgrade your product


7. Be Smart About When You Buy
Some of the best times to buy are around national holidays as manufacturers and retailers are always looking for fresh ways to add excitement in which deals do get unleashed! Some key times to buy are:
-Black Friday
-Back To School
-Dads/Grads
-Moms/Proms

8. Utilize 1-800 support #s
Don’t be afraid to call if you have questions or have issues with product. Utilize this free 1-800# service that manufacturers provide. You can get great input on products to ensure they meet your needs.


9. Be Smart About Returns
Don’t be afraid to return product if it’s not working right. To be honest sometimes tech products are buggy or faulty right out of the package. Tech products have many delicate parts with little transistors, components, so anything can go wrong. Most CE companies and retailers take back new product no questions asked. Another tip on returns is if you buy something and notice the price goes down next week, don’t be afraid to return it to ask for the better price.
