Rog Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 I was just at WM and I saw a stockboy taking a cart back into layaway area. It has some smaller boxes on it and on the top was laptops. I ask if those were sale items for bf and he told me he was just moving them because people kept stealing them. Our WM does not keep laptops on the shelf. What few they keep is in a locked glass cabinet.When I told him they didn't have a place for that particular model and ask again about bf sale, he told me he really didn't know anything but it could be on sale Friday.There was 16 laptops on the cart. Our store only carries 4-5 different ones and only 1-2 of each. It was the Toshiba Satellite L35-S1054. I am not sure of all of the specs but I do know that it has 1024 Ram and a 100 gb harddrive. I have done a web search and cannot find any info on this laptop. If you go to WM.com and bring up a Toshiba laptop and click in on the Vista upgrade it is listed there as being eligible for the upgrade, but that is the only place I can find that model listed. Does anyone else know anything else about this?

scarface Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 This "toshiba satellite" must be a cheapo laptop or something. Its the $250 one at bb, circuit city, now walmart. I think imma stick with the HP.
bigbox6 Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 A lot of the times the cheaper laptops don't come through FEDEX/UPS, and are shuffled in with the same merchandise to the floor. The BF items come in on the same trucks, and occassionally get taken out, so you need to pay attention in the backroom. It is the time of year when people steal, return items try to get the money for them to buy the new good stuff for the holidays. It happens all the time. So maybe they were moving them because people are stealing them. You would be surprised who is stealing this stuff too.
