I hate to promote Amazon, but you known the deal of the day gets me.
I purchased a Synology BeeDrive NAS mentioned here, and I wanted a pocket PC to go with it. I have been playing with a Dell Wyse 3040, as it is a x86 single board computer, the performance and specs in general had me looking for the launch (07/15)of the iKoolCore R1 Pro, which has the N6005.
Searching for N6005 PC on Amazon and seeing a 33% discount I pulled the trigger on the GMKtec NucBox 7. $90 discount got me.
Amazon “deals” are (as basically almost any other deals) mostly just PR BS.
Unless it’s some services or 1 specific product, which I know and can easily verify the discount/deal - I just ignore it. Yes, it’s possible that I miss some great offers, but frankly it’s not worth it the headache just to save a few bucks. I want to buy things when I decide to, under my condition, without feeling the pressure from the seller’s “amazing deal”.
I don’t like being manipulated.
(Few years back I even “caught” amazon creating completely new links for the “discounted” products to make it harder to check historic prices.)
