Can anyone please let me know what are the benefits of buying a laptop on thanksgiving day in US ?
I have heard that we can get them for a fraction of price in case we are one of the few initial customers ?

Can anyone please explain this ?

Initial customers? I doubt it unless there i some store based offer. But otherwise usually there are discounts near holidays.

Thanksgiving is somewhere near the end of october. Its true that you get discounts but iirc the amount you've mentioned is not the price but the discount.

If you haf an ISIC card you can avail student discount round the year. The discount is not heavy tho (mebbe 10-15% discount).

But one of my friends in office did bring a laptop costing something like 900$ - 1000$ for 350$ and this was available only to first 20 customers in that store

^^^ Yep, that low price is only for the initial 4-5 pieces.
