Normally, I don't like to say anything nice about mega-corporations that take advantage of cheap labor overseas (sweatshops), however, sometimes I can't help but want to take advantage of whatever allowed for such a cheap price. According to [http://us.gizmodo.com/gadgets/deals/walmart-and-hp-go-low-end-134358.php|a post] at Gizmodo.com, Walmart will be selling $400 laptops come Turkey Day this year. These are low-end machines, to be sure, but we're still talking 1.6 ghz processors (possibly better), 256mbs of RAM, 40gb HD a combo drive (no DVD burning, sorry) and a 15-inch screen.
Yeah, that's so tempting, I'm almost thinking about picking one up. If I didn't have a new iPod to by for the same amount and almost $800 in taxes to pay off first, I more seriously consider it. Still, it's such a great deal, I had to share it. Now, if only Apple could add an LCD to a Mac Mini and a battery pack while keeping the price at $400--then we'd be talking!!
