Walmart Offers Sub-$500 laptop With Linspire

Posted by timothy on from the how-much-is-that-in-simolians dept.

LehiNephi writes "Cnet reports that Walmart is offering a sub-$500 notebook running Linspire. The specs are less-than impressive: a 1GHz VIA C3 processor, 128 MB RAM, 30GB hard drive, and a plain vanilla CD-ROM. Seems overpriced for what you get, but cheap nonetheless. And yes, it does run Linux."

    I'm sure you would feel the same way if you actually did have to work at a wallmart. Get over yourself.

    Dude, Why would you defend shopping at WalMart AND brag about going to private schools? That's like being born with a silver spoon and admitting you use it to re-position your Ben-Wah balls rather than snort coke off it like a good spoiled brat. If you are intelligent (and trust me the Ph.D. is no proof), try defending WalMart's economic and social impact as strongly as you defend your ego (e.g. sea & ski fag-oh, no stereotyping-actually I probably smoke you at both, sans the pretense). I'm almost (~1 year off) a Ph.D. (public education only) and I CAN skin a deer, and despite grad school poverty, avoid WallyWorld. Put that in your gamma distribution and stroke it.
