CathyFL Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 Well went in to pick up my 2 laptops off layaway today and they gave me one but couldnt find the other one. So what they did was susbstitute the toshiba one that sells for 697. Not sure if I got a good deal or not. The one they gave me was a toshiba satellite a55 series. Seems to have everything the other one did even a bigger screen if i remember right.. My question is do Toshibas do as well as an HP
EliteABombAZ Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 I am not sure about the Toshiba, but I love this HP. Not too heavy, bright clear/crisp screen, decent graphics chip and after WM employee and holiday discounts I only paid $302.40 for it! :2dollar:
adewrell Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 Tonight is the last night to pick up layaways at Wal-mart. If anyone put the laptop on layaway and doesn't pick it up by close tonight, it's fair game tomrrow morning. If you are still looking for a laptop, call your local store and ask if there were any that weren't picked up!

adewrell Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 Yes they will. The price is on the outside of the box and this computer had its own UPC code. They are still ringing up at the BF price. There are a LOT of employees that want these though so you will have to be there early and ask for a manager.
Ebayordeath Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 The unofficial policy at most Wal-Marts is that they don't put unclaimed layaways back until Christmas Eve, at least that is the policy at the few stores around me and according to friends and family I know that has worked there for years.
EliteABombAZ Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 The last day for layaway pickup at my local Walmart is the 17th (POSTED in the layaway dept). It is different in each store. But I doubt they would want to piss off X-mas shoppers who got their paycheck a day late...etc. I bet they don't return holiday layaways to the shelf until after Christmas.
Kayakmom Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 I just called 3 local WalMart stores and they all said basically the same thing. It goes by last name and they start tonight putting the stuff back on the shelves overnight for the first batch from the beginning of the alphabet at two of them and the other one said they're not putting it back out until Friday overnight so Saturday morning would be the time to get there. That store only had 2 days worth of pickups, but the others are divided over 3 days.
Gporter34 Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 At our WM the layaway dept. was a disaster today!LOL Alot of people were really mad because some of their items were missing. That's why I am scared to do layaway for BF.
RossMAN Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 Cathy, Congratulations on your free upgrade :) That particular Toshiba laptop model better is definitely better than the HP. Anyone else looking for a deal on a new laptop should check GottaDeal.com

I thought they were supposed to be 1 per person? Or was that up to each store to put limits? We had no problems with ours, but I was really nervous after seeing all these "lost layaway" stories. Luckily, all of our stuff was not lost, but we had 9 boxes, and an employee who didn't know how to do this stuff, so we were there forever!
CathyFL Posted December 17, 2005 Author Posted December 17, 2005 I had got one and my husband also and put them on layaway
jason Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 some of the keys stopped working on my Wm Hp and so i took it back to the store and they exchanged it for the $697 Toshiba, I like it!!!!
CathyFL Posted December 18, 2005 Author Posted December 18, 2005 Jason, let me know what you think of the toshiba I got the same one because they lost the one I had on Layaway. Dont really think it was lost but thats what they said...
jason Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 I think the toshiba is overall better than the hp the main specs are pretty much the same but u think it is built better the hp seemed cheap one thing that is better is the battery on the toshiba
Gporter34 Posted December 18, 2005 Posted December 18, 2005 Mom is loving her HP from WM! She is on it way more than she was on her desktop!LOL
