Best Buy's BF laptop

[sbpebbles]

I seen that Best Buy will have a HP laptop for $197..does anyone have this one or have experience with it? Looks like a good deal but then again looks can be deceiving..I bought a gateway desktop 2 years ago from them and LOVE it..but with the kids I need to upgrade to something more portable..any suggestions? thanks!

It is a Celeron processor. I prefer something higher up the ladder of Intels processors. It seems like a good deal, but minimum of five per store. Is it worth standing in line, since it's in store only?

Celerons are fine for anyone but the most demanding users. That said, I doubt it's worth standing in line all night to get one. I suppose if you live in Miami and the weather is nice it wouldn't be that big of a deal but where I live we had people in tents and cold weather gear like they were in a race to the North Pole. For what, a laptop?
And I live in Georgia, imagine what it will be like spending the night outdoors in Wisconson.

This would be great because I am not wanting to stand in line all night for a chance to even get one. I had much rather buy online. Do you have any idea when it will post?

The one that was in Targets ad yesterday for 198 is what FIL bought each of our older two kids. I really want him to get the one Wal Mart has,but we will see, if we can get our hans on them, he will just return the other two. IDK much about the one he got, but I know it seems like it will be decent for the kids, they are only 9 and 12 so shouldnt need a lot. GL with everyones black Friday shopping.
