[SGVLUG] This week's closeout laptop deal

[Emerson, Tom (*IC)]

Again from Big-lots [pic-n-save for you old timers] -- this time it is a
Turion 64 x2 by Compaq [umm, gee, isn't that still HP?]  3GB main
memory, 200GB hard drive, 15.4 wxga, lightscribe cd/dvd burner priced at
$400.  (last week's model was an HP w/4gb main, 320GB on the drive, 14"
display, and an intel processor instead of AMD, but otherwise the same)

model CQ50-110US in case anyone wants to price-shop/compare  [just a
quick check found a similar-but-lower-spec model at Best Buy for $550,
which is what big-lots is claiming as the original list for this unit]
