Is 2GB of ram on a laptop really adequate to run anything?

Hell, a 4 year old would probably be more than happy with one of those $35 Amazon Fire tablets!
It's fine for web browsing, media consumption, and light MS Office work. Not suitable for video editing or large coding projects, of course.
The Mini 2 was an amazing value when it was released three years ago, but the Mini 4 is a solid upgrade (twice the RAM, convenience of TouchID, somewhat better screen and processor). It's also sure to be supported longer.
Mini 4 vs. Air 2 is mostly just a question of device size.

I have a $200 laptop for grad school that runs office and other small programs with no issues at all. I wouldn't game on it though.

There has been no HDD deal both internal and external. It's pretty disappointing this year.

From the Best Buy ad:
Does it include the audio only version?
I'm scared to buy an Air 2 at this point. Isn't it pretty old as far as product lifecycle goes?
Air 2 has 2GB RAM (same as the current 9.7" iPad Pro), so it should be good for a while.

No idea!
Why not get one of those Fire Tablets for Kids? They're like $100 (probably will have a black Friday deal) and comes with a kid proof case and two years of damage protection.
There are multiple threads on gaming side regarding 4k/HDR TV.

Let's be real, the 4 year old probably won't be the only person using it.

Anyone see anything for the Asus Zenpad S3 10 tablet? Looks like a great tablet at $300 but I want to make sure there are no deals on it.

Gonna be looking for a laptop, No expert on specs. How's the 99 dollar dell ones? Feel free to direct me to other deals.
It'll be a all around laptop.

Nvm on that, should have phrased my original post better. I have a PS4 so not really looking for a primary gaming rig. Just be nice if it had the power to run some games

I cant imagine a $100 laptop will be able to run any of the newer games.
Don't expect to run any modern games. A few lighter indie/XBLA-style games will work, along with some 10+ year old (pre-360/PS3 era) mainstream games (which will likely have other compatibility issues), but that's about it. Even a lot of the "retro"-styled games that you'd expect to have low system requirements will choke on that $99 Dell.

Any good receiver deals?
We're also looking for a fridge. What's wrong with LG or Samsung though?

you'll be able to run all the newest putt putt and freddi fish games on there
GOD DAMN this made me laugh.
@BlackGhost yea it'd probably be incapable of running even simple games.
I just bought iPad Mini 2's for my 2 kids last week at Costco. They were already on sale at the $199 price.
My kids have been monopolizing my iPad Air, so they're used to that level of performance. They will be very happy to have their own iPad Mini's that are just as good as mine.

Any good deals on a GoPro so far?...

So what's looking like the best deal for a tv between 40 and 50 inches that is good for gaming on (low input lag, etc)?

So my laptop died this morning. Still not sure if I am gonna replace it but I figure BF would be the best time. Does anyone have any recommendations based on the following?
-Lightweight
-Can play 720p or 1080p without stuttering
-Good battery life
-HDMI out
-At least 2 USB ports, speed doesn't matter
-At least 64 gigs of disk space
-Preferably as close to $200 as possible, but I could probably go up to 300
Honestly I would be fine with a tablet if it weren't for the fact that sometimes I need to type a lot and also use external HDDs. I also used my laptop as a media center for our living room TV so that's why it needs to be media capable.
Edit: Walmart is gonna have the Samsung Chromebook 3 for 120 bucks. That might be good enough. One question I have though, is I also used my laptop to download large steam games at work to transfer to my desktop at home. I know chromebooks can't run games but can they at least download them?

Anyone seen any good deals for Wireless speakers, range in the 200-300 dollards, thinking of getting this http://www.samsung.com/us/audio/wir...ant360-r5-wi-fi-bluetooth-speaker-wam5500-za/

It can't run steam so it can't download games from steam.
Not really, no.
Most of the sales end up being prices that show up in typical year-round sales. The big stuff that goes on huge discount is usually peripherals and cases.
Not sure if you're aware, but many credit cards are offering a 'price protection' guarantee (Chase, Discover for sure).
As in, you can buy it now, scan the ad, send it to the designated spot and you'll be refunded the difference.
I did it last year for my TV through Discover and it went through without a hitch.

I'm not clear on the 3DS. Does it replace the current 3DS and this is just the new normal price? Or is that price only good until midnight and then it goes back to regular price.
Based on the NES Classic fiasco, I'm not planning to even try to get this if it's limited in either time or stock. But my daughter sure would love one.

Looking to score either the iPad Mini or iPad Air from BB for my niece if I can get one ordering online. I have no interest in actually going to the store on BF and dealing with that nonsense.
Other than that, keeping an eye out on a good deal for some bluetooth IEM headphones for the gym. I've heard good things about the Jaybird x3 but haven't see them appear anywhere that I've checked yet.

I have two border collies and a long hair cat. All indoor pets, Border Collies go everywhere with us, to work, out and about, everywhere. My life could be defined by pet hair.
Get a Shark, I'm sure there will be discounts on them, but they already have great prices for what they are.
