On July 26th Walmart will have a Presario CQ60-419WM Laptop. 15.6-inch Diagonal High Definition HP BrightView Display (1366×768 ) 2.10GHz AMD Sempron SI-42 Processor(512KB L2 Cache) 3GB Memory 160GB (5400RPM) Hard Drive NVIDIA GeForce 8200M Up to 1GB Shared Video Memory Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic (32-bit) $298.00. It's not the latest and greatest of processors but the better video chipset and 3 Gig system memory should greatly assist the slighted processor. It is also 32 bit, but if the average person even knows what that means I'd be impressed.:lol: If you're on a tight budget and you need a unit for your kid at school I would recommend it. Buy Walmarts extended warranty for the 2 year plan if you can afford it. $30
I bet you can buy the laptop online too. Might be a sure fire way to get one vs. standing in a long line.
They are going to carry it as a continously available item. When ever Walmart has a sale on electronics I go to the Fuquay store. The down side, the 26th is not tax free weekend and do you wait 2 weeks and find it out of stock?
I'd take the chance. Just to keep any extra money out of Bev Perdue's hands. But that discussion is best left for one of the other boards
I checked with my wife, (inside source) and you're right. Limited supply till mid august. Bummer, looks like the state gets their $21.
You can also buy it online. The 'add to cart' button wasn't available until this morning. Standard shipping is ~$8. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=11050018
