US WM: HP Laptop @ $298, 360 Arcade w/ $100 eGC @ $199, 42" LCD @ $498
EDIT: Actual link to the promo!
I was poking around Kotaku and Slickdeals and found a rather interesting bunch of deals supposedly at Walmart US starting this Saturday. Too bad I just got back last week from vacationing in the US.
The most interesting deals are the 360 w/ $100 eGift Card, HP laptop (w/ Win7) and maybe the Sharp 42" LCD.
Sharp 42" LC42SB45UT 1080p 60Hz @ $498
Sharp 46" @ $698
Sharp 52" @ $898
HP Laptop G60-519WM w/ Win7@ $298 (confirmation at Slickdeals. Specs aren't bad. You can always upgrade the CPU.)
Magnavox Upconvert DVD Player @ $29
Sony BluRay Player @ $148
Panasonic 46" Plasma 1080P @ $788
Xbox 360 Arcade console with $100 eGift Card @ $199
*Note: Being that it's an electronics gift card, it can only be used on Walmart.com. Fine if you have a US address. Don't know if you can order something for in-store pickup though.

It is said that the reason why leaves fall from the branch, is to allow new leaves to take their place. No matter how sad the fallen leaves look, there will always be new sprouts in the spring. Perhaps emptiness in the heart is something like that. Reply With Quote

The laptop is at best warm compared to the WM Gateway deal.

Note the "WM" suffix on the laptop's name. No PMing there.
So, it's a 15.6in with an Intel Celeron 900 (2.2GHz, 1MB cache, 800MHz FSB) processor and Intel 4500M graphics. Anybody familiar with the performance/battery life on this type of combo? Bearing in mind the low price, that is. How does it compare with the Athlon 64 TF20?_______________

Nov 3rd, 2009 04:58 PM #10My laptop has similar specs, the only difference is that it has T3400 (2x2.16ghz) processor and 6 cell battery. Brand new, it got 4 hours of battery life w/ wifi on and medium brightness on monitor. ~2.5 hours watching stuff. However now, (1 year later) I am getting like 3 hours and 2.

Thanks. That's good battery life. Assuming that the Cel 900 is a single core version of the same chip (need to check that) it should achieve similar longevity. Unless WM include a smaller battery, that is. Originally Posted by charsoxer

Is the celeron 2.2 enough to watch HD movie on youtube/gaming sites? It is the only thing that I'm wary of, willl be doing word processing and web surfing+ some excel with the laptop
I was looking to buy an asus G60vx to replace my desktop but I think I will go with a cheap laptop like this one for work and a dedicated gaming desktop when I have more cash coming in with an I7 and Ati 5770 Reply With Quote

I've generated an interesting comparison page here:
http://ark.intel.com/Compare.aspx?ids=35583,41498,
The Celeron apparently has a higher FSB than the T3400, 4/3 the number of transistors, and a smaller manufacturing process, but it lacks the SpeedStep feature. For a single core though, it might even outperform the dual-core T3400, at least when running single apps. The SpeedStep should give the T3400 the longer battery life though._______________

Nov 3rd, 2009 05:46 PM #15Only thing I can think of is mount it in the car on a hinge from the roof and tell them it's your drop down dvd monitor for rear seat viewing. If they call you on it just ask them if they've ever seen "Pimp My Ride" lol. I do know of one other way of doin' it but the cost of it would pretty much kill the deal and it's sketchy at best lol.
