Best Buy just now opened the sale on their early Black Friday notebook deal. You can now buy the Acer Extensa EX5230E-2177 Windows 7 laptop on the Best Buy site for $249.99. Quantities are limited. So if you want it you better hurry.

Update:
If you snooze you lose! This early Black Friday deal is sold out online. The only chance now is to get this $249.99 Windows 7 Laptop at your local Best Buy store. There are supposed to be at least 5 available in each store. Best Buy put the deal up for purchase online at soon after midnight PST. It is now 4am and it’s sold out.

Features of the Acer Extensa include 15.4 inch screen, DVD writer drive, Intel Celeron 900 at 2.2Ghz, 160GB HDD, Intel GPU, webcam, Wifi 802.11n, and Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. See all the specifications below.
Compared to the $298 Walmart HP Laptop the Acer Extensa offered Best Buy has a smaller HDD with 160GB instead of 250GB. Besides that these bargain laptops are very similar. Like with the Walmart Laptop offer the Celeron CPU is the drawback, but for the price this is great deal on a notebook running Windows 7 and the performance is good enough for basic web and email use.
