My local Wal-Mart had about 20, got 1 for me and one for a friend.
they sold like 3 or 4 more in the 20 min i was there, they are going fast, I would all but guarentee they are gone by now.
makeing restore discs right now, and yeah it seems pretty quick, plenty of computer for average web surfing,Office aps, and Email, and probably the old game or 2, and movies too.
Meghan, hate to get off topic but can you tell me what you do to remove that junk? do you just go to the control panel and remove the software? thanks!
"...comes back and price adjusts" - what does that mean?
I wonder if my local Walmarts would have any left. I have 3 within 10 miles. I bet there's no one answering the phones in electronics.

Picked up one of these this morning before work. Still not sure whether I'll keep it. Do you think it's a worthwhile replacement for my current (old) Walmart Black Friday HP laptop?

I wonder if the Acer at MicroCenter uses the same memory as what's installed in this WM laptop....since this eMachines WM laptop uses DDR3 RAM. Wonder if Acer just forgot to update the specs for the memory to reflect the change to DDR3.
The '2' key on mine only works half of the time and makes a noise every time i press it while the other keys are pretty much silent. So there's something broken or not connected right physically under the key. I'm just going to box it up and bring it back and hope they have one to exchange it with. If they don't have one I wonder if they will give me something comparable or order another one for me?

How about shopping first then buying?
Where are you seeing DDR3? The Wally-World page says DDR2-667....

Two places, both terribly hard to do, but can be done.
First, I loaded CPU-Z and ran it....under the memory tab, it shows up as DDR3.
Second, opened up the cover over the memory. It's Hynix brand memory, labeled PC3-8500.
That's about the best I can do to prove it does have DDR3 RAM.
It is extremely hard to compare mobile platforms. There are so many different configurations and options that it's hard to figure out just how much better one notebook is compared to another.
