Most folks that go to grab these offerings are not aware of the differences in them. Such as the walmart one had a decent video card that allows for some mid, low level gaming hulu and other video funsies that the intergrated graphics offerings do not offer.
I would think as a email reader surfing the net very basic stuff these offerings are hitting the right target at the right price.
Got a great laugh at a target review that someone bought a net book and got mad it could not do their daughters sim games. Like any tech item cheap or not figure it out what it is you need it to do and go from there. For the average user that does just surf or email these low end sub notebooks are just fine.....Glad to see the competition with the prices too
Oh a bit of weirdness was at the walmart that Sunday afternoon they still had about 20 or so of the 298 left. I was real surprised at that one
I guess it was signs of the times and economy affecting even low end offerings
