2GB......Under $500

Knowing that times are tough, we were able to work with one of our supplier partners to offer what I think is a first, a 2GB Laptop for under $500!!!  Breaking in stores this Sunday, we will have an Acer laptop that has a 14.1" screen and allows for easy mobility.  Complete with Vista Premium and the ability to read and write both cd's and dvd's, at $498 this is truly an unbeatable price on a 2GB laptop.  We bought what we could get our hands on but not sure how long the supplies will last so get to the stores on Sunday!!!

 

UPDATE:  Several have asked for the model number.  The model number is the Acer Aspire 4520-5950.  Hope that helps.

... but... Windows Vista?

Couldn't you have just loaded XP and removed half the memory?  It would have ran about the same that way. ;)

I think you meant 2 gigahertz (GHz)?  GB would refer to the hard drive.  2GB was what they had back in the 90s.

Really hate to burst your bubble, but Best Buy has a 449.99 laptop in the stores - has been for a few weeks.  Windows Vista Home Premium, 2 GB memory, 160 GB hard drive, DL DVD/CD RW (yes dual layer) - a Gateway platform with 15.4 wide screen btw with onboard 802.11g wireless and NIC card. (using Realtek chip sets)

I bought it for my wife - she is quite happy with it as a replacement for her 4 yr old Dell Inspiron running Windows XP. 

No offense Wal-Mart, but you got beat by Best Buy here

Yeah but....is it sturdy?  Laptops live a hard life getting thumped around in car trunks and backpacks.  I've had it with laptops that give up after a few months.

I was just in your store over the weekend, where they had a crew selling out about 20 or so laptops at sale prices.

However, as I looked at the inventory, what I found is that it is mostly dud stock that range from 1 year to 2+ year old stock, that was modestly discounted (25% or so is what I remember) from their old sticke
