As the post-Thanksgiving turkey dinner works its course, if you’ve the energy to rise from the couch, there’s some tempting Black Friday gateaux on offer at your nearest Best Buy.
More than $350 USD off the asking price of $550 USD. Best Buy?
The dessert dish in question is a Hewlett Packard (HP G60-507DX) notebook normally priced at $550 USD that Best Buy is willing to part company with for a mere $197 USD.
While we wouldn’t advise spraying whipped cream across the keyboard before trying to chomp through the computer’s outer casing, Best Buy’s “first-ever, value priced HP laptop” comes equipped with a capable-but-ageing 2.2GHz Intel Celeron 900 processor (800MHz), 2GBs of DDR2 RAM (expandable to 4GBs), and a roomy 160GB hard drive.
Other points of appeal that help categorise the HP as a genuine notebook and not a Web-centric Netbook, include Windows 7 Home Premium, a 15.6-inch LCD screen (1366 x 768), an optical disc drive for DVDs, Intel’s Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M, and Microsoft Works.
And remember, if the sub-$200 HP doesn’t tease your greasy palette – despite being more than $50 USD cheaper than the Acer notebook Best Buy offered in October – the retail titan is also selling a decent selection of Atom-powered Netbook systems below the $200 USD barrier.
