It's good through 09/25/2012.

The one at Best Buy for $399 has 4GB ram; the one at Office Depot for the same price on BF has 6GB.

Menards is already out.

FREECCDEC is the free shipping code. Enjoy!

I stopped shopping there years ago and haven't missed it one bit! How they manage to even stay in business (or why anyone still shops there) is quite puzzling!

Yawn! Nothing really worth calling a "deal" in this one. Maybe the next one will have better pricing.

Same here. As far as I'm concerned Walmart can take their sucky BF ads and stuff them where the sun don't shine!

That's the only one I ever get in my market, even when JCP customers in other parts of the country get the $10 off $10. Those $10 off $10 in-store JCP coupons are only sent to designated geographical and demographical areas and unfortunately for me my JCP market is almost always slated to get only the $10 off $25. I guess that's the price you and I have two pay for living in markets having the #1 teams in the AFC and NFC! LOL!

You need a Keurig brewer (B30, B60, B70, etc.).

Do you really think $70 is a good price for that skillet?

Mine shipped (UPS) on the 19th and is scheduled for delivery on the 23rd.

No. The only shipping promotion Kohls has going on right now is free shipping if you spend $100 or more. I doubt we are going to see free shipping codes with no minimum from Kohls.

No. JCP online codes are not stackable.

I agree. All my laptops (ranging in age from one to three years old) got at least 3 hours when brand new, and even now get at least 1.5 to 2 hours.

It will be more than good; a 10yr old doesn't even need 4GB RAM and a 320GB drive. The $249 Acer at Best Buy this week would've been fine for a 10yr old.

$99 netbooks wasn't any kind of consensus; it was wishful thinking on some people's part.

Nah, my four year old doesn't have one yet!

I would hardly call either of the two machines you describe an "ordinary box". Their specs indicate they should be able to handle W7 with ease, as you stated they have. I would think the typical "ordinary box" for most consumers is probably two to five years old with 2GR RAM or less, single or dual processor (not core2duo), and integrated graphics. It's on those older underpowered machines that XP performs well and the average person might not see any improvement from W7 (if their hardware can even support it).

What bugs are you specifically referring to?

The extra $180 will get you better specs (which is great if you need them), but it's not going to ensure that the laptop will last any longer than the $250 one. In my experience the primary factor in determining how long a laptop will last is the user (or users) and the way it is used and maintained, not the money spent on it.

She might be busy playing solitaire!

Have you priced brand new, name brand OEM 6 and 9-cell batteries lately? Some sell for even more than the $150 price of the netbook, so I'm confused as to your definition of not too expensive.

Agreed, more like Yawn Friday specials!

I think someone will have one with an Intel dual core processor for around the same price on BF.

Sure, a 9-cell or 12-cell battery will give you better battery life, but I doubt you can find a laptop for $298 that has either one. Just about every sub-$400 laptop will have a 6-cell unless you 're willing to pay extra for a larger battery. A 6-cell battery will usually get you between two and three hours (depending on your power settings) of unplugged use, which is fine for most people looking for a budget laptop.
