January is the best time of the year to grab yourself a deal on a laptop, according to new data. So if you\u2019re in the market for a new portable PC, now might be the time to pounce!<\/p>\n

Picking up a laptop in January is 30% cheaper on average according to price comparison site Idealo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The researchers collated the average prices on a wide range of tech products across 2021 and found that January offered the best opportunity to bag a discounted laptop.<\/p>\n

Katy Phillips from Idealo said: \u201cThere are several reasons why prices can fluctuate all year round, with many retailers using artificial intelligence and algorithms to dynamically adjust prices according to consumer demand, competitor prices, and even the weather.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany shoppers fall for the hype around sales events such as January sales and are seduced by the big-ticket deals. However, our advice is to stay savvy all year round and continually compare prices to unearth even bigger bargains.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, the research showed that February is a great time to pick up a gaming chair<\/a> and the average price of drones dropped a whopping 54% in July.<\/p>\n
