What's up with the $378 laptop computers at Walmart on Friday?

HP Pavilion ze2308wm? I can't find any info on this particular model. Is this a POS or something that is actually decent? My first desktop computer was an HP my mom purchased from Walmart, and it was pretty good. The Windows ME system that it came with was another matter though.

Anyone have the specs on it? All my girlfriend and I would use it for is typing papers, surfing the internet, chatting with friends, etc. Thanks.

1. user forums has wallyworld workers saying that even at superstores, the

number of AVAILABLE (and no rain-checks either) craptops will be no more than 25 per store. (we don't want wallyworld to go broke, now do we?)

Specs:
AMD mobile Sempron 2800+ processor, 1.6 Ghz. 256 MB DDR SDRAM memeory. 40GB harddrive. CD-RW/DVD-rom combo drive. 54G 802.11 b/g wireless LAN. 15 inch TFTXGA screen. Limit one per customer and no rebate necessary. Carry bag available for 9.88. Sell starts at 5AM and ends at 11AM.


That is not bad by any measure.

2. Is it a Windows or a Linux system?
