Walmart offers a Compaq for $298

The retail giant offers a 3GB memory laptop for $298

Walmart made a commitment this summer to provide a wider variety of laptops at unprecedented savings to the students with Performance for Back to School. For this, Walmart reportedly worked closely with brands like HP, Dell, Acer and Toshiba to deliver new products at not just great value in price but also high quality, performance, and variety.

“We know all students need solutions that integrate work, entertainment and portability,” said Gary Severson, senior vice president, Entertainment, Walmart U.S. “Our increased assortment delivers more targeted offerings from great brands at dramatically affordable prices.”

The Compaq Presario CQ60-419WM offers a 160 GB hard drive, CD and DVD drive, and Windows Vista pre-loaded in the notebook that comes only for $298 at Walmart. This price event begins 8 am July 26 in all stores and on Walmart.com and continues until stocks last.

Shoppers will find notebooks and netbooks under $300, new accessories, and units with entertainment features, long-lasting batteries, lighter weights and more colors this year.

Students can use Walmart’s Site-to-Store pick-up for their consumer electronics and dorm room accessory needs by sending their orders made at Walmart.com directly to the Walmart near their school, with no shipping charges.
