After digging in and finding the $299 Dell Mini, we’ve discovered Walmart’s sister company Sam’s Club is featuring the Acer Aspire One netbook for $350.
Since you can get one from Best Buy for the same price, it’s hard to tell how much of a deal it is.  If anything, it sounds like a good deal if you get shut out from other places, and Sam’s Club has a great return policy.
Happy Post-Thanksgiving shopping.
