$298 Wal-Mart PC Has OO.org, No Crapware
cristarol writes "Wal-Mart has begun selling a $298 PC (Everex IMPACT GC3502). It comes with Windows Vista Home Basic and OpenOffice.org 2.2, as well as a complete lack of crapware: 'Users accustomed to being bombarded with trialware offers and seeing their would-be pristine Windows desktops littered with shortcuts to AOL and other applications will likely be pleased at their absence from the GC3502.' The machine is targeted at the back-to-school market. The hardware is nothing to write home about: a 1.5GHz Via C7 with 1GB of RAM and integrated graphics, but as Ars points out, it should be more than capable of performing basic tasks." Dell sells a low-end PC through Wal-Mart for $200 more, and one assumes it is loaded with crapware. Anybody know for sure?
No Crapware
Yeah...
Which is it? I'm confused. In one place the post says it comes with MS Vista and in another it says it comes without crapware?
Beta is broken and the link to classic doesn't work. Stop wasting our time or there won't be anybody left here.
Calm down son.
My name is Dennace Whitely. You may have heard of me before. They like to call me Golden Dennace. I'm a popular rock singer and businessman. I've done extensive image editing and music composition THIS VERY DAY on a Pentium 3 laptop from 7 years ago. I think that this machine will be plenty for MSN messenger and browsing myspace.
Now if you'll excuse me, my business partner is taking me out to dinner. I have little time to spare on scruffs such as yourself. Heh heh heh heh.
Your mom's box! O&A PARTY ROCK!!!!
