Early Black Friday/Cyber Monday Deals From OWC!

Thursday, November 24th, 2011 | Author: OWC Grant

It’s that time of year again, where traditionalists head out into the freezing cold (or the blistering heat for those in the southern hemisphere) in search of the perfect gifts for loved ones.

Fortunately, with OWC, you don’t need to camp out in front of a store, waste time standing in snail slow checkout lines, or wait for tomorrow in an attempt to get a great deal on tech gear. We’ve got over 250 featured items on our Cyber Specials page – it’s like “Black Friday” and “Cyber Monday” both in one day…or a Turducken…except it starts today and runs through this entire weekend. And some specials will even run through the entire season!

Whether those on your good list have a legacy machine, a new 6G capable Mac, or any of the myriad of iDevices, we have something that will make it run faster, last longer, look sharp, in short, make it better than when it was new…and in some cases, better than the latest models from Apple.

While it would take forever to describe all the tasty deals, there are a few that we’d definitely like to highlight…and make sure to read to the end to see how we make these deals even better…as irresistible as that third helping of stuffing and gravy: Article Continues…

The Thrill Of A Deal

Friday, November 26th, 2010 | Author: OWC Grant

I just got OWC Larry’s thoughts on Black Friday…and while he was out in the wee morning hours to witness the true doorbusters, I hit some stores before work and scored some great deals.

Getting a great deal on something you really need gives one such a thrill rush…it would be outlawed if put in a can or bottle! Those energy drinks have nothing on this kind of pulse boosting excitement.

In Larry’s thoughts though, I saw some new great deals that we have on our site that weren’t covered in our Tuesday “preview” blast. And having scoured the holiday inserts to see where we stacked up – as well as to see if there were items we didn’t have that I needed (can you beat a $29 Canon wireless printer!) I found the following to be especially thrilling and hope you do too: Article Continues…

It’s like getting stuff for (almost) free…

Friday, November 26th, 2010 | Author: OWC Chris S.

It’s the day after Thanksgiving here in the US, which means that since early this morning, it’s been a nonstop barrage of pushing, shoving, screaming, and at least one case of eye gouging – and that was just the line for donuts in the OWC break room. I hear it’s much worse at the stores…

Those of you searching for great deals for the upcoming holiday gift giving season are in luck today; Apple is having a sale on many items in its lineup. It just so happens that these discounts make getting accessories even easier.

What do I mean? Let’s take a look.

There’s a $101 discount on a new 2010 iMac, MacBook, or MacBook Pro. That $101 can do a lot; simply by using the money you saved there, you can knock almost 2/3 off the price for adding a custom eSATA port through the OWC Turnkey Upgrade service. If portability is more your game, you can make your MacBook or MacBook Pro a speed demon with a super-fast 40GB OWC Mercury Extreme SSD for the same price you’d normally pay for the same machine with a slower “conventional” hard drive.

You can also get $41 off the purchase of an iPad or an iPod Touch. We have over 50 different accessories under $40 for the iPad alone, making them effectively “free” when you purchase an iPad with Apple’s discount.

You’ve always relied on OWC to help you make the most out of your Apple products. Now use our great deals and Apple’s Black Friday sale to get those product enhancements for next to nothing!

OWC Express priced to move even faster!

Friday, November 27th, 2009 | Author: OWC Chris S.

SantaGlobeHello Readers, and happy Day-After-Thanksgiving to you!

As always, while most of the United States is recovering from an L-Tryptophan-induced slumber, we here at OWC are ready to help you with your holiday tech gift needs. This year, we’ve got something for you that we think you’re going to like.

We’ve got blowout prices for the already economical OWC Express 2.5″ Drive Enclosure, reducing the prices to as low as $9.99 for the white model.

While this price makes of one of the best USB bus-powered enclosure deals available even better, you still need a 2.5″ SATA hard drive to put in there. If you don’t have one already laying around, we’ve got some great “Express + Hard Drive” bundle offers – you can either put the new drive right in the enclosure, or you can replace the old drive in your MacBook, MacBook Pro or Mac mini and put the drive you took out into the Express. And those bundles have a little extra value in them as we include at  no cost a $5 value five piece toolkit to help you get the job done.

Either way you go, OWC can show you how to do it all yourself. Our highly acclaimed Instructional Series of videos can show you how to replace the drive in your computer, and our latest installment shows you how to install a drive (be it new or old) in the Express itself. As always, you can find those videos both in our Tech Center and on our YouTube channel.

Of course, this isn’t the only Black Friday special we have for you. You can find all our great post-Thanksgiving specials on this special page, as well as our every-day great prices throughout our site.
