Not sure what kind of laptop your student needs for the back-to-school season? Walmart today announced that it has increased its assortment of affordable laptops, including the first-ever $298 Compaq notebook with 3GB of memory. The Compaq Presario CQ60-419WM also offers a 160GB hard drive, CD/DVD drive, and Windows Vista preinstalled. You can snag this notebook beginning July 26 at 8 a.m. in all Walmart stores and on Walmart.com while supplies last.
Also available July 26 is the popular Acer 15.6-inch AS5810-4657, with a $50 price drop to $548. It comes preloaded with Windows Vista Home Premium (qualified for free Windows 7 upgrade), 3GB of memory, a 320GB hard drive, and a claimed 8-hour battery life. Its Intel Display Power Savings Technology reduces backlighting, making this laptop up to 40 percent more efficient than the typical laptop.
