CNet posted a story about Wal-Mart selling a really lame laptop, but for only $298, today only. Check out some of the comments:
- Of course people who shop at Wal-Mart will buy this laptop along with their Happy Meal and churro. Ahhh…happy times…happy times.
Where else can you buy a hammer, rawhide chews, grass seed, frozen chicken thighs, tomato sauce, tomato paste, Marvel action figures, Call of Duty 4 for the PC, Resistance 2 for the PS3, socks, boxers, 5 spiral notebooks, bologna, cheddar cheese, etc. etc. at 2:30 in the morning? Aaaaaaah, truly these are happy times….
The biggest question is will it have Windows? A few years ago WalMart did this on Black Friday and they all had Linux on them… SURPRISE! Unfortunately the audience Walmart is targeting can barely handle computing let alone Linux.
Yeah, CNET is fine, but your review of this machine is elitist and unfair. I own a sub franchise in case you wonder if I’m some hack for WalMart or Compaq.
And my favorite:
Wow Dan Ackerman. You certainly are a horrible person. I can’t believe Cnet lets a snob like you write for them.
The Internet is a wonderful place.
