http://live.pirillo.com – Nick Francisco is looking to buy a new computer, possibly in August, and wants to know what the best time of year is to purchase a computer?

There are two times of the year when it’s best to buy a computer, and they’re not related to when new hardware is released: August and December.

August is a great time of year to buy computers because you get "back to school" specials for all levels of education. When this time of year comes around, business will often put computers on sale, offer a significant discount, or give equipment away (such as free printers).

December is a very good time of year to purchase a computer because of the Christmas shopping season.

If you’re looking to save additional money, try not to worry about having "the best" machine that money can buy at the time. You can save some money by not getting the largest hard drive, or not getting the fastest processor.

One other crucial piece of advice: never buy a computer without looking for coupon codes or special discounts.
