Just in case you need a cheap computer Wal-Mart has got your back. They’re working with HP to sell a Compaq Presario for $298 and a number of laptops that are well under the $400 range.

The laptop will have 3GB of ram, 160GB hard drive, and will include Vista.

Why all of this information is showing up in a Reuters article is beyond me.

They will also reduce hard drive prices to about $60 – probably for a 250 or 500 GB model – and offer $25 Logitech mice in blue, pink, black, and red. Get you into your truck and head down there with the family on Sunday after the corn roast.
