[>>> Official Black Friday LAPTOP Discussion Thread <<<]

When I got to Walmart, the electronics manager told us that she didn't know anything about a $388 laptop. 45 minutes later she came back and told us that they had finally found them. They got 9 of them in and they wouldn't tell us for sure where they were going to put them out. They said that last year it just created chaos when they told people where to wait for them. I was really mad since I had been there since 3:30 and I said that they needed to hand out tickets or something for the people who were there waiting and their response was 'this isn't Best Buy'... Really rude! I'm not sure that I will do BF shopping at Walmart again even though I did manage to get one...

 

The Walmart I was at didn't have ONE SINGLE "In Store Special" laptop - I was 3rd in line, so I know for a fact there were none at our store.

 

Bastards.

 

BUT....I did get my hands on the Dell Inspiron 1501, but when they went to ring it in, it said "Sale not allowed". Of course this lead me to management/customer service, and lo and behold, they manually overrode it to be the special price!

Every Walmart must've had different laptops... Ours had an 80 GB one. It was also a Toshiba. We got there at 3:30 this morning and waited for them to bring them out at 5. There was a mad rush for them. Luckily, I ended up managing to get one. It is for my soon-to-be 12 year old and I didn't want to spend over $400 and we don't have anyplace besides a Walmart to shop for laptops around here unless you want to drive over 70 miles.
