Labor Day weekend has arrived, and with it comes the usual crop of sales. Where do you begin? As always, Amazon is a great starting place, with its steady stream of bargains. This holiday weekend is no exception. We sifted through some of the deals and picked out some of the more interesting discounts on various electronics, like the super-affordable Windows laptop shown above.
If it is an inexpensive Windows laptop you are after, then definitely check out this Teclast notebook, which on sale for $265.49 at Amazon (save $84.50). The low price comes by way of an initial discount, plus an additional $30 savings by checking the coupon box on the product page. What about the Teclast brand, though?
The company is better known in China, where it has been operating for over two decades. And what it's serving up here is a 15.6-inch laptop with a 1920x1080 resolution, powered by an Intel Celeron N3350 processor (2C/2T, 1.1GHz to 2.4GHz, 2MB L3 cache) and 6GB of RAM.
