HP G60-519WM: US$298 at Walmart

HP’s G60-519WM is an exclusive built specifically for Walmart. Here are the specs:

• Resolution: 1366 x 768
• CPU: 2.2GHz Celeron 900
• GPU: Intel GMA 4500M (integrated)

$298 for a decently equipped 15.6-inch notebook PC from a brand name, HP. Now that’s a pretty good deal! I personally don’t like the off-centered keyboard and would rather not have the numeric keypad for a centered keyboard. But for $298 I can forgive that awkward design. If you were thinking of purchasing an additional notebook PC, this G60-519WM should be high on your list simply because it is so affordable. And Windows 7 should run decently with these specs.
