Walmart is selling a $550 notebook computer with 802.11b wireless networking and Windows XP Home Edition. This is not a high-end laptop, but it would be good for someone who wants to surf the Internet, and do basic tasks such as word processing, etc. Gamers need not apply for this laptop.
Note: This deal is only available online.
- 1.1 GHz Mobile AMD Athlon 4 processor
- 14.1" XGA TFT LCD screen
- 40 GB hard drive
- 128 MB RAM
- DVD-ROM drive
- Integrated 802.11b wireless networking
- Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
If you do by this laptop the first thing you need to do is upugrade the RAM. The computer sets aside part of the main system memory for video. So, you will only have access to 112MB of RAM or less for the OS and your applications.
This seems like a great computer for that college student of yours. I have never used one, I would recommend checking it out.
