The $299 laptop is not just for Black Friday anymore!
Walmart had a special last Saturday for a Compaq, 2mhz processor (not dual core), 2gb of ram, 160 gb hard drive, dvd burner, 15.4" screen and nvdia graphics.
I went to the store @ 5am (sale began at 8am). I was 34th on line. When the manager came out and told us the store had 40 on hand, I knew I could sleep in on Black Friday for the first time in 5 years!
Granted, its not the best laptop around, but its better than any computer I have on my network, so its an improvement.
With the economy the way it is, I think the electronic stores will be offering the loss leaders throughout the shopping season.
