Does anyone know if the big stores like Walmart or Best Buy are leaking their 2026 Black Friday ad scans yet because I am so lost. Sorry if this is a stupid question but I literally just started trying to save money for a new place in Philly and I have no clue how any of this works or where people even find these things.
My budget is super tight like under $400 for a laptop for school and I keep seeing people talk about leaks but I cant find anything besides old 2025 stuff. Am I way too early or am I just looking in the wrong spots? I'm honestly so anxious I'm gonna miss the good deals because I dont know which websites are real...
> Am I way too early or am I just looking in the wrong spots? Youre definitely way too early lol. Those big ads for Walmart and Best Buy dont usually start leaking until like the first or second week of November. Honestly, anything you see right now labeled 2026 is probably just clickbait or some fake site trying to get your info, so definitely be careful where you click. Moving to Philly is pricey so I totally get the stress... but for a $400 budget you can actually find decent stuff before November if you watch for sales. I would suggest looking at something like the ASUS Vivobook Go 15.6 Laptop AMD Ryzen 3 7320U 8GB RAM 128GB SSD because it usually hits that price point easily. Just make sure to check legit sites like Slickdeals or the actual store apps once we get closer to the holidays. Its kinda scary how many fake ads pop up early on...
