Where to get the best prices on PCs?

[Windows Central Question]

Is it best to go direct to Microsoft to buy a new PC, or are third party shops always a solid option? Looking for some buying advice here. I'm not particular on the brand, just want a good deal.

In my experience, going to Microsoft is a pricey option, since there are many deals to be found on third party shops.

I'm not sure where you are in the world, but occasionally, I have had luck also going to the PC manufacturer's site to see if there's any deals once you decide on a computer. I think the Microsoft site is a nice place to start but I would recommend making a list of your core things you want in a PC and go through them to see what computers match that list and then consider your price range.
