Guest mirandaanddreco Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 I got the 148. computer and omg it was crazy they where about to fight me over it, went to best buy at 7:pm to stand in line and it was all the way around the building so went to walmart and finally got me a new computer. and the computer is actually very nice has alot on it.
musiang Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Glad to hear you got ya one! It was nuts by me for them!
CarpeDiem Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 me too! But its in car no clue on specs....I know it's an emachine with a 17' monitor
laura_harris Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 There is no monitor with them, it is a 3.20 GHZ with 512 megs, qualifies for Free Vista Upgrade and 6 month free AOL There were only 4 at our walmart, I got the first one and my BIL got the second.
elena_398 Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 Congrats. Didn't need one, but also never saw them in my Walmart. People were pretty much at the 52"tvs and computers ($398 ones)
Fouronmyskirt Posted November 24, 2006 Posted November 24, 2006 I got one too. Sent my son in for it. He said there were about 10 of them.
roxyklt Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 My store had 15 of them and I got the first one. They didn't bring them out on the floor until 5am and one of the police officers told me where they were bringing them out at so I was the first one there.
arress Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 I was surprised when I walked into my Walmart to find most of the black friday items still available..the Compaq computer for 398 the plasma tv for 998 Viore was the brand..about 20 Symphonic 20 inch lcd tv's for 238..one v rocker.. I got the Viore plasma a the vrocker..
Missye Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 I don't even think our store even carried it. When I asked about them the RUDE Walmart rep looked at me and said SOLD OUT I know working retail is hard during the holidays but come on.

When I asked about them the RUDE Walmart rep looked at me and said SOLD OUT I know working retail is hard during the holidays but come on.There's no reason for that. I know I always apologize profusely, even though it is not my fault.
8truths Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 The $148 eMachine I got seems pretty good. I've already had it overclocked from 3.2 GHz to 3.6 and there was no instability whatsoever. That was a surprise, since eMachines have a rep for gimpy and unstable power supplies. However, info I found online says these will overclock safely to 3.7 GHz with the original cooling system. After getting such good results, I'm tempted to build the system up, maybe with a decent video card, some RAM ... perhaps a power supply. You can get parts so damned cheap on NewEgg anymore that it's almost dumb to not build it up. If I can find a decent price on a P4 processor, I might just sell the Celeron on eBay and reduce the cost of building the machine up. I like it. Very happy with my purchase.
mudd274 Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 got there at 3mins. to 5 and was the first to get one.they had 6!!!! not allowing items to be put on layaway kept alot of people out of our store. good for me but bad for people who are in worst shape than I. walmart has messed up christmas for alot of little children.....not letting people put things on layaway on bf. think I will give alittle of my savings from today to TOYS FOR TOTS.
bigdogofftheporch Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 they did"nt have them at my store it was not on the hand out they gave while on line out side they had the one for 398 was told that they had it at 11 am when my freind went to walmart:mad:

AndreaInNC Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 I finally got one too! At 4:15am, the store manager had no clue about the computer. They gave me a rain check because they couldn't find them. I got a call at about 9:30 this morning that they found them and one was being held for me. Yipee! Now to find an inexpensive LCD monitor.

scrapwave Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 our WM had 3 of them but they were Compaq Presario's...and I had to ask someone where they were...they were just over on the shelf with NO advertised pricing on them. I don't think they sold any of them as we decided we didn't want one either (my mom decided against getting one).
DKS88 Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 Can anyone please tell me what brand and model # theirs were? Our store manager couldn't find ours. Today I went in and saw a Emachines model without the monitor that rang up $348 and I'm wondering if this was one of the ones they couldn't find.
ashwin225 Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 Hi all, I look for $249.99 Toshipa laptop, but I did not get it. Finall y I buy HP Laptop for $550.00
CHRISTY17FAN Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 i got one of the 148 desktops !!!! our store only had 3 its a compaq presario 256mb 80 gig amd didnt care what kind because it is for the kids.
ticktrek Posted November 26, 2006 Posted November 26, 2006 My son went to two Walmarts here and neither one knew about the computer. He even showed them the printout of the ad, but left both stores with NO computer.

CarpeDiem Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 the sku on my receipt is 082710308540 says desktop pc and was ringing up @ $498

Today I went in and saw a Emachines model without the monitor that rang up $348 and I'm wondering if this was one of the ones they couldn't find. This was not the right one, but I had a friend who took it up to the register and argued with the cashier and got it for the 148.00 price.

That's what I got .. they didn't remember the price until I mentioned it was on the flyer. It won't ring up on sale anymore.
AndreaInNC Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 if u find any let me know plzzzzz This is what I'm looking at right now. I got a Hans G over the summer and I am very happy with it. The rebate takes kinda long .. but it's only $79.00! http://www.pcconnection.com/B2C/Shop/Rebate/RebateDetail?Sku=7131919
CHRISTY17FAN Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 the ones my walmart had were ones they were getting rid of .. i had looked this summer at the one i got ..only reason i know is b/c it had a yellow sticker that had 298.00 which was reg price
amdskip Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 Yeah there won't be rainchecks for these. It was a one time deal. Sounds like supplier issues to me.
