A decent notebook for a song
Yeah; we know Wal-Mart has them sub-$600 notebooks … but somehow we are not too convinced of the reliability nor build of the thing. But we found this in our neighborhood’s upcoming Staples weekend deal circular:
HP® Pavilion Intel® Celeron® M Processor 350 build-to-order notebook $649.98 after instant savings & easy rebate. Valid Jan 23 - 29.
- Processor speed 1.3GHz, 1MB L2 cache, 400MHz FSB
- 256MB DDR RAM
- 40GB hard drive
- DVD-ROM drive
- 15″ TFT display
- 56K (max) modem
- 10/100 Ethernet card
- $749.98 - $50 instant savings - $50 easy rebate = $649.98
Granted, it does not have a somewhat-common DVD/CD-RW drive or any built-in wireless option - but if all you’re gonna do is to sync that PDA of yours, surf the Web, and fire off the occasional letter or two - this baby will deliver just fine.
Check your local Staples circular for availability.
