This is the time of year when tech gadgets become hot commodities and the manufacturers know that. Buying any tech gadget solely based on price is a good way to end up with buyer's remorse. The lowest-priced device in any electronic category is rarely ever the 'best deal' because of what it takes to make something cheap. Cutting corners when manufacturing any tech device means that critical components will not perform as well, such as batteries or displays. One key element in making a good decision is not only what you are buying but who you are buying it from. Having the option to return or exchange the device after you've had some time with it can dramatically improve the outcome. Doing your research on any electronic purchase is both essential and easy, but it's especially important to see what others are saying on low cost items. Their feedback will tell you where the manufacturers cut corners so you can determine if it matters to you or not.
