Walmart just announced hot electronics deals for their frist early Black Friday sales event starting Saturday 8am in Walmart stores. Like last year Walmart is offering again a laptop under $300. The 15.6-inch Compaq CQ6-109WM is going to be on sale on Nov. 6 for $288.
The HP Compaq is featuring up-to-date design that does not give it away that it is a budget laptop. The HP Compaq CQ6-109WM runs on a Intel Celeron 900 2.2Ghz CPU. Features include 15.6-inch LED display, 2GB RAM, 250GB HDD, Wi-fi 802.11n, Intel 4500M Graphics chip, SuperMulti double-layer DVD burner and 6-cell battery. Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit edition comes with the Compaq CQ6-109WM.
Best Buy offers a similar Compaq laptop with the CQ62-215DX based on AMD CPU and Graphics. Best Buy is currently selling that one for $349.99.
Walmart offered this Compaq Laptop already back in July for $298. Now they cut the price by another $10.
The Intel Celeron 900 and the Intel GPU are the biggest issue with the Walmart bargain Laptop. This CPU has already powered the bargain laptops a year ago. The price/performance curve is very flat in the low-end right now. You get some updated components with the Compaq CQ6-109WM like LED LCD display and Wireless-N. $288 is though a tempting price and if you do not need to play 3D games, edit videos and open 5 browser windows while you surf the Compaq CQ6-109WM will do. See also the the product page of this laptop on Walmart.com.

Best Buy will offer a better Laptop deal tomorrow. Read the details about the early Best Buy Black Friday Laptop to sell for $279.99.
