13. How Jason Chen Suggests Navigating Tech Deals

Tech is the most popular Black Friday category — and the most confusing.
His core advice:
- Always check the model year.
- Prefer mid-range products — they offer the best performance-to-price ratio.
- Avoid ultra-budget electronics unless verified by reputable experts.
- Compare specs, not marketing terms.
- Look for “historical low” markers.
Common tech traps:
- TV models created exclusively for holiday sales
- Cheap laptops with slow processors
- Fake “gaming” accessories
- Bluetooth headphones from unverified brands
- Overpriced cable bundles
Jason often states:
“Good tech deals are real, but 60% of tech listings are not worth your money.”
