(TigerDirect)-Insanely Cheap Devices after MIR

[jimmeh_the_memer]

If you want to experience Chrome OS, but don't want to pay more than $100 for the experience then this is perfect. It boots up lightning fast, has one USB 3.0 port, and has a SD-card reader. I've personally bought one of these back when they were $250. The build quality of these particular Chromebook are quite cheap, but at $69 after MIR there is not much to lose. It is a decent little notebook. These are refurbished so I don't know how well I am following the COD, but it is such a good deal that I couldn't resist.

And the second deal is another deal from TigerDirect with a MIR. It is a ASUS MeMO Pad 7-inch tablet. Seems like a perfect gift for the upcoming holidays. It has a decent resolution (1024x600), front and rear facing camera, 8GB of on-board storage (with a MicroSD card slot for expandable storage), 1GB of RAM, and an Intel Atom processor, running Android. Again it is a refurb, so I don't know how well I am following the COD, but $24 for a decent tablet.

It doesn't "come with McAfee," McAfee  is the the requirement for it being this cheap.

Other examples of the same deal.

The reason people don't like it is because the submission of the rebate entails that you accept the ToS and are legally obligated to install mcafee, sign up for auto renewal with a credit card, and stay opted in to it for at least 10 months, after which you can opt out. The problem is that after 10 months it's not unlikely you'll forget and if you do forget to cancel it within those last 2 months of the year it'll end up charging you for the next year.

Makes sense. Sorry if I mislead anyone due to ignorance on my part. Thanks for the correction mvitkun

"Siri, remind me in 10 months to cancel anti virus auto renewal." 

 

 

 

Man, if I knew my kid needed a notebook for high school next year, I'd jump on that Chromebook.
