I need to know which one is the best value under 150.00 my kids are pre-teens and get on youtube and facebook alot. im a single mom so i really need my money to stretch but want the kids to be happy too..so please help me here. thank u!
DLM Posted November 16, 2010 Posted November 16, 2010 I desperately NEED that netbook from Walmart too. Will save me a lot of headaches on Black Friday. I might actually just be able to shop instead of push through for needed deals....
Jen8112 Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 The netbook will be on sale on walmart.com for $178 tomorrow morning. I don't know the time yet, I will post back when I know. I hope posting this doesn't make it so I don't get one.

Jen8112 Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 Thank you so much!! I have been checking on it all day. I hope you get one! You too! They said they will announce when it's available on their Facebook. I suggest you watch there because when I see it I'm buying one! Then coming directly here to post.
Jen8112 Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 The "Amazing Electronics" sale starts at 6am so I'm going to guess that's when the netbook will go on sale too. It's 1am here now so I guess I'll set my alarm for 6. Hopefully I can sleep.

Jen8112 Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 (edited) Ok, in case you miss it I heard they will have the same one on sale at Target this weekend for $179.99 with a free neoprene sleeve. I hope this is true but I JUST heard that so we will see. Would really work out if you needed 2. Wonder if Target will have the pink one (for myself)? I'm going to check the Target thread. :) Downloading the Target ad now. :) Yup it's true! I'm still going to try for the Walmart one first. Edited November 17, 2010 by Jen8112
ride_ski Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 The Walmart one is up- Just got mine......
xtothey Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 I got mine too!!! This makes me SO SO happy.
Jen8112 Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 Just got mine! They haven't even posted that they are available yet but I just checked the Crowdsaver and it said "Buy Now"...so I did! What color did you get? They said it would be black, blue and red but I saw brown not black so I got the blue.
Jen8112 Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 The Walmart one is up- Just got mine...... You posted this at 6:06? I was up at 6am till 6:15 and I didn't see it!
Jen8112 Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 They just posted it 10 min ago on Facebook.
Jen8112 Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 (edited) The red one is gone. Brown one is gone now too. Blue one is gone. Sold out. There is still Target on Sunday. Edited November 17, 2010 by Jen8112
higbee Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 where is the information on the one at target this sunday?
Jen8112 Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 I put this once already. Was it removed? I don't see why it would be. http://www.target.com/ACER-ASPIRE-NETBOOK-AOD255-2331/dp/B0041DZTV2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&searchView=grid5&keywords=AOD255&fromGsearch=true&sr=1-3&qid=1290006766&rh=&searchRank=target104545&id=ACER%20ASPIRE%20NETBOOK%20AOD255-2331&node=1038576|1287991011&searchSize=30&searchPage=1&searchNodeID=1038576|1287991011&searchBinNameList=subjectbin%2Cprice%2Ctarget_com_primary_color-bin%2Ctarget_com_size-bin%2Ctarget_com_brand-bin&frombrowse=0
Mugglemom Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 is the target one online or in stores or both? Thanks!
xtothey Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 Just got mine! They haven't even posted that they are available yet but I just checked the Crowdsaver and it said "Buy Now"...so I did! What color did you get? They said it would be black, blue and red but I saw brown not black so I got the blue. I got the blue as well. This is for my 10yo daughter or else I would have gone with black. I hope it's a good one and she likes it.
Jen8112 Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 is the target one online or in stores or both? Thanks! In stores only. I just got back from Target. I bought one and hoping to go back on Sunday and get the price adjustment. If not I will return it. I'm just a little nervous about the one from Walmart. I already had a Monster High doll order that got canceled, and I want my DHs option on the blue or the black for DS.
Jen8112 Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 I got the blue as well. This is for my 10yo daughter or else I would have gone with black. I hope it's a good one and she likes it. She will love it! :)
DLM Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 They had these last year for sale prior to Black Friday as well. My daughter and I bought them and the cases and went back to have them price adjusted on Sunday. Worked like a charm. We were VERY happy. I highly suggest going this route - you can always return if you run into a problem.
reportermomof3 Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 How does the Target netbook compare to the Walmart $198 e-Machines? Need to get my 16-yr-old ds something for schoolwork. Which is better and/or easier to get?
Jen8112 Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 The Walmart eMachines is better because it is a full sized laptop. The Target netbook is easier to get because you can go buy one now and have it price adjusted on Sunday. The laptop at Walmart will be super hard to get because there will be 200 people there to get 25 laptops.

Also, does anyone know if the Target Acer pre-BF netbook the same one as the Radio Shack BF Acer netbook? Edited November 18, 2010 by reportermomof3

Also, does anyone know if the Target Acer pre-BF netbook the same one as the Radio Shack BF Acer netbook? The netbook would do the job, the laptop would do it better. Yes, they are the same one.
reportermomof3 Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 The netbook would do the job, the laptop would do it better. Yes, they are the same one. Thanks, Jen. Now, what to do? Should I get the netbook now, and get in line for the walmart laptop? And if I get the laptop return the netbook? That way I'll be sure to have something. What to do, what to do....
Jen8112 Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 I'd get the netbook at Target, tomorrow if you can, then go back Sunday and get a price adjustment. I'd grab the $12.99 case for it too and get that price adjusted with the netbook. That's what I'm doing. If you get it you can always return the netbook, just don't open it. Then try to get the laptop at Walmart. You will have to be there well before midnight though, depending on where you live of course. If I was to try to get one around here I would probably go around 9 or 10pm. Good luck with whatever you decide!
Jen8112 Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 My netbook has shipped from walmart.com! Should have it Friday! Now I just need to decide if I'm keeping the blue one from Walmart or the black one from Target.
PunkRocker101 Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 Does anyone know how good Acer is....I mean is this a good netbook for the price because I dont want risk trying to get one at Best buy cuz I have never tried best buy n its always crazy from wat I hear. My friend had an acer laptop and then an acer netbook n the laptop wouldnt work with java n the netbook was just slow...so i was wondering if this Acer netbook will be better because hers was from a couple years ago so would this one be better...does anyone have this one that could tell me if it is good and fast with internet?... Also, I was wondering if this acer netbook could handle microsoft word documents...I have a desktop to do all my major work but I want a netbook to do microsoft word documents up at college so would this be able to handle word?...any help would be greatly appreciated...Thanks Im talking about the Acer Aspire One in target since the walmart is not available...i wanted blue but i was too late..thought i would get the compaq netbook at best buy but now i dont think i will...im not sure...lol

They have pretty much the same specs. Lets just say around here you pretty much have to miss Thanksgiving to get in line at Best Buy to get anything good. The Acer netbooks from Walmart, Target and Radio Shack are the same. Yes you can do Work documents on the netbook. At least I don't see why you wouldn't be able to. Here is a list of the software that comes on the Acer from Target: * Acer® Utilities * Adobe® Acrobat® Reader * Adobe® Flash® Player * Android InstantOn * eBay® shortcut * eSobi * Google Toolbar * McAfee® Internet Security Suite (trial version) * Microsoft® Office Starter 2010 (Has reduced-functionality * Microsoft® Silverlight® * MyWinLocker® * Netflix® shortcut * Norton Online Backup * Skype * Customized Windows® Internet Explorer® 8.0 * Windows Live Essentials
