Over the last few decades, gadgets like the MacBook Pro have become essential in everyone’s life. Many people use it more than just as a medium of communication with their loved ones but also as a tool that can help them complete their daily tasks, both personal and business purposes.
The benefits of using gadgets have reached children. My nieces and nephews use the iPad units I bought in Singapore for studies during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since it has been two years, I decided to get them new ones.
Instead of waiting for the season of Black Friday and CyberMonday, I shopped a month earlier. I could not afford to wait longer due to my hectic schedule, so I used all the spare time I had to finish my holiday shopping.
Listed below are the factors that I considered when I purchased a smart watch and other gadgets for my nieces and nephews,
6 Factors I Considered Before Purchasing A Smart Watch (And Other Gadgets)
1. Ask Referrals
Apart from your go-to gadget store and Google’s search results, you should still ask your tech-savvy peers to have more options where you should buy gadgets for your niblings. They probably know better shops that sell quality gadgets.
2. Compare Prices
The only way to maximise your budget is to compare prices. In my case, I compared prices of the recommended shops my tech-savvy friends suggested. Thanks to them, I was able to save up to buy the Apple watch and other devices in Singapore!
3. Take Advantage Of Deals
Speaking of saving up, I was able to meet my budget because I took advantage of the promo code that popped out of the screen as soon as I landed on the gadget shop’s e-commerce website.
I highly recommend noting the promo code down so you can type them before you check out the items and settle the payment.
4. Battery Life
Since my nieces and nephews will be using the gadgets for their studies, I chose the iPad units in Singapore with the longest battery life. That way, they can use their iPad for hours and are less likely to interrupt their screen time.
5. Never Get Extended Warranties
No matter how tempting to get extended warranties, I never did. That would only add an extra cost, and there is a high chance that I would never use it,
To guarantee there will be no need for extended warranties, I highly encourage my nieces and nephews to be careful, and they should take good care of their belongings.
6. Read Online Reviews
Whether you are a loyal customer or a new buyer from a particular shop, you should always read customer reviews. Doing so will give you ideas about how good the product is and if it is worth buying.
Now that I have shared my part, it is up to you whether or not you will consider the factors that I mentioned above. Remember that you should take your time weighing the pros and cons as the holiday season is still weeks away.
If you want to know where I shop for the gadgets that I have bought for my nieces and nephews, go to Harvey Norman Singapore! This shop sells all the latest devices, such as the 13-inch MacBook Pro.
