Why Black Friday Notebook Computers at Walmart Suck

Walmart has some incredible Black Friday notebook computer deals this year. HP and Compaq laptop computers for as low as $179 for the Compaq Presario and $249.99 for the HP 2000.

Buyer Beware!

There is a reason these computers are marked so low. They are junk.

To meet this price point, they use refurbished parts like hard drives, and chances are that hard drive, which stores all your important information, is going to fail in the first year. The computers are slow with minimal memory and processors that are near the brink of extinction in the computer world.

Here's the real deal if you are looking to save money and not get mauled by greedy Black Friday computers who will kill you in order to get one of these junk notebooks. Call HP notebook support, where a variety of HP laptop computers will be marked down for the holidays. Look at a better machine like the Pavilion DV6. If you negotiate with your technical support rep, whose job it is to sell you--not provide you with support--you can get that rep to thrown in additional discounts and coupons into the mix so you can come out a winner with a quality machine that is going to last.
