The "sweet spot" is the ideal point where you get the highest performance (and quality) at an optimum price. It can refer to many types of goods, but electronics are of particular interest because of their phased lifecycles and planned obsolescence. This post will help you develop a "sweet tooth" for tech deals.

Got some old electronics kicking around and no idea how to recycle them? Looking for some extra cash to upgrade, replace or initially purchase a particular piece of equipment? You can apparently now do both at Radio Shack. Bonus? They even pick up the tab for the shipping costs. Read on.

We all have a few old electronics lying around that we never use anymore. It seems a waste to just throw them away, but it often takes effort to sell them. Now there is a new service called Gazelle that allows you to trade your old electronics for cash with the least amount of hassle.

My husband and I often search online for fixes to our electronics problems because if a gadget is out of warranty it often costs quite a bit to get it fixed. When we find a solution that is not hard to implement we figure we might as well try it, and we have been able to fix many things including computers and handhelds. Read on for some tips on finding solutions online to your gadget problems.

I've watched other Mac lovers fall away from the True Faith, one-by-one, but I never thought it would happen to me. However, yesterday when we brought home the newest addition to our Mac family, an 80 Gb iPod Classic, it would be my turn to be disillusioned. After you pay the hefty $249 price tag, plus an extra $30 for a wall charger (they used to bundle those in for free), plus $55 for the composite AV cable for your TV, plus any other little extras you may need, there is a hidden cost that blows up in your face when you get it home.

Recalls aren't just for toys. If something breaks, especially earlyish in the product's life, check it out and you may just get a free replacement.

It's Friday, it's time for another deal. I must preface this by saying I'm not really a huge fan of the XBox 360, not because it's a bad console but I'm no fan of the reliability right now. However, if you are in the market for a HDTV & gaming system, Best Buy is giving you a stellar deal. You'll save over $400, which is like getting the XBox 360 for free.
