Dell has a similar one for $399 on their web site if you miss the wallbanger.

Laptops are wonderful. I have three of them.

They are, however, fragile. Handle with care, and they'll take care of you too.

Some amazing deals on electronic equipment tomorrow by many retailers.

If I wanted to fight all the hyperactive shoppers, and take the risk of possibly getting trampled to death, it might be worth it to try and cash in on some of these deals.

But I think I will sleep-in instead and let the loonies go at it. The news should be interesting tomorrow evening!

Personally, I'd stay away from it. Its too slow for my tastes. I believe in the old adage: buy cheap, buy twice.

Circut City has a Toshiba laptop for $199 tomorrow. Even comes with a free wireless G-router and all-in-one printer.

Problem is you have to sign up with AOL for a year to get the deal. So it ends up being over $400.

I am 100% convinced he is a troll.

Not only is his comment stupid, he has made exactly 7 posts since 2001.

Hey Darks,

Check out rezod21.....

Walmart is TERRIBLE for the US. Screw them!!

Is Walmart terrible because it's cheaper to manufacture a good, ship it to the US, and STILL have it be cheaper than a US made good?

I think it's easy to blame Walmart - but they're operating in a free market in which the US is becoming less competitive for a number of reasons.

>>>...spend your hard earned money somewhere else....<<<

I'm not one of WM's bigger customers - but I love to buy toothpaste, deodorant, and shaving stuff there - save about a third or better!

Please explain why my hard earned money isn't better spent by keeping $1.00 out of every $3.00 in my pocket.

Spend your money any way you want - its not up to me to teach you economics.

My daughter got snagged on the power cord to my Apple PowerBook G4 and pulled it onto the floor from the desk. It cost over $1,000 to repair it. I couldn't believe it. I love having a laptop, but kstewkis is right -- be very careful. Of course, at $400, it's cheaper to buy a new one than pay for a $1,000 repair.

"I have my eye on their 42-inch Plasma television for $997 "

WARNING: Be aware that this Viore model is apparently only capable of EDTV and not true HDTV resolutions, although it has a built in HDTV-compatible ATSC tuner to display the HD broadcasts. Do not be confused by the fact that Walmart and Sam's were selling a true HDTV Viore monitor in the very recent past. It is not the same model and so you are not necessarily getting a great deal unless you by some fluke get the older model by mistake (it won't have a tuner though). The Viore does have a good quality screen as plasma screens go. Contrast is not great and it will burn in if you are not careful, but neither is it total crap either and so not a bad screen for the money. I have heard that the Viore tends to not have a long lifetime though, so you get what you pay for. They are actually made by Akai.
