Will this year’s Black Friday produce a $398 notebook/desktop PC sale over at Wal-Mart? That’s what folks at Black Friday 2005 (a website that tracks deals and bargains) have found out through supposed scans of upcoming Wal-Mart newspaper inserts. The $398 laptop is an HP laptop with a 2800+ Sempron processor, 256MB of RAM, 40GB HDD, CD-RW/DVD drive and a 15 inch screen. The $398 desktop comes with a 3000+ Sempron processor, 512MB of RAM, 40GB HDD and a 15 inch LCD. Whether all this turns out to be true is anyone’s guess at the moment but if Wal-Mart wants to make a showing this Christmas, it may have to end up creating a buzz like this $398 computer sale. At that price, I might just go pick one up too since I could use a Linux only box here.
