Nice! In for 2. These make nice Craigslist fillers...

These will be gone shortly or at least pulled. They should be appearing on eBay once the upcoming ad is confirmed.

Pickedup two today. I for one believe these will be $300 since the employee had to pull them from "the back". This usually means they are holding them for a big sale. Of course the minon employee does not know this since they're always clueless.

Pricematches might be denied for these once they're sold out and no longer "available in-store" (as they will certainly be by Sunday if this deal is confirmed). The policy reads:

"Low price guarantee:

If your product is available at a lower price in the store at the time of pickup, your credit card and/or Gift Card will automatically be adjusted to reflect the lowest available price."

I agree as they had something similar for $349 a while back. FW thread here

But wow, how much cheaper can a Windows laptop go?

Is there going to be a "15% Restocking " fee associated with returns if they dont price match?

If you open it (which you won't until you get the price match)

Could you please verify if how many memory slots are filled, thank you.

If you open it, you'd be subject to that fee, I'd assume.

i should buy 2 units, bring one in at a sold out store store and return only 1 unit. then tell them to pricematch the other unit..

ahaha.. ideally. it would be in stock if i returned that 1 unit. (just thinking outside the box)

6 cell battery isn't too shabby right? Usually these budget laptops come with 4 cells.

Time to cancel my order ... I was planning on re-formating and putting XP on it... can anyone confirm/deny whether or not there are XP drivers for these devices/hardware?

Link please. Thx
