Im really trying to buy this laptop at wallmart, its a very good deal. Also I do lot of DVD burning so, $3 bucks for a 50 pack of blank dvd are very cheap.

Anyone doing any shopping on black friday?
 
That laptop is very inexpensive !!!! :eek:

I have a similar one to it, mine is the zv6000....and i thought i got an amazing deal when i got for $1000 when everyone else was paying $2000....

but $400 bucks for a laptop, including a dvd burner ..wow....
 
ha! i might just pick up the $400 laptop for the portable burner storage capability as my desktop caught on fire a while back :biggrin:

Khappi, got any ideas:smile:
 
I couldnt get the page to come up on the laptop but alot of these specials are limited to a few per store and its first come first serve.

Anyone remember last year when the lady was stampeded to death by a rush of customers trying to get into the store ?

Please note that the Walmart model is not quite per the spec you posted
- half the memory (256MB)
- smaller HD (40 GB)
- CD RW /DVD ROM (not DVD RW)

Still good value, just want to be sure everyone realizes what it is that is for sale

I don't doubt it, There were roughly 3-4 thousand people waiting to get in the Walmart close to me..
Fighting, trampling, cursing, you name it it was being done.
This was just while they were waiting in line...:eek:
It was also 19 degrees at the time.

Needless to say I took the scenic route and left the parking lot..
 
I am gunna be ther next year at 4, like GET THE F out of MY WAY!....Bring a airsoft or paintball gun to show i'm serious. Danny is gunna need some pointless crap to buy!
 
i was reading the newspaper at ~5:15 this morning and noticed that our local fry's had their sale from 5am this morning... after i finished my coffee & morning prep, i headed over to fry's... about 3/4 of a mile from fry's i notice there are cars parked in the parking lots of the surrounding businesses... and this is 3/4 mile away. so i keep heading down the road toward fry's and it's a mad house - 3 or 4 campbell pd directing traffic in the major intersection, cars going in and out of all the surrounding parking lots... and at the entrance door there were ~20-30 in the line *outside* the building... and beau coup people walking away from the place with bags of stuff.

not for me, so i headed into downtown campbell and had a cap & read the morning chronicle.
 
I went to best buy @ 5:00 am and when they opened the dorrs I just started running and I was one of the first 30 people in a skipped the 500 person line.I was third in the line for tv's..When I left there was about 100 hundred peolpe in the computer line....Crazyness all morning long...I would never sit in line for 5+ hours...
