Before you buy

A worthwhile deal is the right model at a genuinely lower total price. Avoid paying for accessories you will not use, and compare new equipment with new equipment rather than a used or open-box listing. If you need a working setup now, buying a suitable machine at a known price can make more sense than waiting for an uncertain sale.
