  1. Confirm the exact model. One listing can cover several variants. Match the model number, processor, RAM and storage to what you actually want.
  2. Set a price baseline. Note the price today so you can tell a real markdown from an inflated MRP.
  3. Work out the final price. Amazon has confirmed a 10 per cent instant discount on eligible SBI credit and debit cards, and Prime members can get up to 10 per cent extra benefits. Check the maximum discount, minimum order value and exclusions, then look at the final payable amount.
  4. Treat exchange values with caution. The quoted figure depends on the model and condition of your old laptop and can change after inspection.
  5. Read the EMI terms. Check the tenure, any fees and whether bank discounts still apply to EMI transactions.
  6. Check the warranty and seller. Prefer the manufacturer's warranty, confirm who the seller is, and keep the invoice, which you may need for service claims or business expenses.
  7. Know the return window. Return and replacement terms vary by product and seller, so read them on the listing. Test the screen, keyboard, ports and battery as soon as the laptop arrives.

A deep discount on the wrong laptop is still the wrong laptop, so it is worth shortlisting two or three models and comparing them side by side before the sale opens. You can browse laptop offers on Amazon and review the final payable amount for each shortlisted model before you confirm the order.
