Nice find!

 

For those buying this, may I suggest that you also grab another 1GB of memory, or keep an eye on the site for a good deal on the memory.

With running Vista, you almost NEED 2gb.

Thanks a bunch. I just ordered one, as mine kicked the bucket last week and DH hates sharing his with me.

i just ordered the laptop AND the desktop... both for only $299!!! Looks like I don't have to run to best buy first thing on BF morning!!!! Only 19 days to go.... WHOO HOO!!!!

I bought one too. Missed getting yesterday's at Walmart so I'm happy to get this one. I hear what everyone is saying about the RAM but this will only be for web surfing basically. I do everything else on my desktop. So for my needs, it'll do. One less thing to look for on Black Friday!

 

Noehlp, thanks for mentioning about grabbing another !G of memory, will do.

 

This will be my 1st laptop. What else do I need to get this up and running?

No problem.

 

If it's your first laptop, you may want to invest in a wireless or corded mouse. Make sure it specifies that it is for laptops and works with Vista. And if you get the mouse, grab a mouse pad, unless you already have one.

not available in my area

Looks like it is OOS online - might be available in store. These were never available for store pickup so do not rely on the online inventory to tell you if it is available nearby - you have to go see for yourself or at least call.

Thank you! I appreciate it.

This one was never available at any nearby locations according to Best Buy's website. I thought that was strange seeing how it's in today's circular. I should have called to save on shipping but I'm okay with that. I ordered this at about 4 am, lol.
