Does this sounds like a good deal? Is it ok to get laptop and similar gadgets from walmart? Are any cons of buying such things from walmart? Is this a good laptop?

Re: Black Friday Special!!!

Some other black friday deals…

Black Friday sales arrive early this year

These are tough economic times, so retailers are launching their Black Friday specials weeks early to motivate budget-conscious buyers. You can normally find the latest Black Friday ads on sites like BlackFriday.info, Bargainist.com, DealTaker.com, BFads.net, and TheBlackfriday.com, so check those out before you go shopping this weekend, because it looks like retailers are slashing prices early this year.
Here’s a list of sales happening right now, just to give you an idea:
Walmart**: **Walmart has in-store specials that are already up for grabs. The retailer is selling several 15.4-inch Compaq CQ50-139WM laptops for $298, Sony’s 2GB Walkman player for $49, Samsung’s S760 point-and-shoot digital camera in red for $89, a 46-inch Sanyo 1080p LCD HDTV for $798. Check out the flyer here.
Best Buy will also be marking down the eMachines laptop (eMD620-5777) for $299 according to BFAds.net. The laptop includes a 14.1-inch screen, 1GB DDR2, 160GB hard drive, Windows Vista, and AMD Athlon 2650e processor. The site has a side-by-side comparison of this laptop versus the Compaq notebook being sold at Walmart.
Kmart is offering the 32-inch Sylvania LCD HDTV for $440 and the Wii Fit for $90, according to I4U, and Sears has a lot of sales in the electronics department too, so check those out.
**Circuit City **will be closing some stores this quarter, so it may be running lots of promotions off and online too. Engadget HD found this Sony Blu-ray player for $177 on its website, so you might want to look around between now and Black Friday for more savings.

Re: Black Friday Special!!!

it's a great deal...

the specs are decent...for regular use (word processing/browsing etc) it'll be fine...but its not a high end gaming/number crunching/video editing machine...

This is a nice laptop.

Re: Black Friday Special!!!

The laptop sounds decent for the price. Especially considering it's brand new and comes with standard factory warranty.

Re: Black Friday Special!!!

go ahead and buy it if the money is really biting you and burning holes in your pocket
its precisely what you should not be doing
Like who doesn’t have a computer at home, or a TV … etc
You flock to these BLACK BROWN YELLOW BLUE sales like fish taking a bait

Its not something you NEED - just something you WANT
I am going to hang on to my precious hard earned cash in these difficult times
