I’m not exactly sure what Kmart was thinking but someone in their merchandising department is likely to get fired.  Netbooks are definitely supposed to be cheap but they also have to be usable.  This Black Friday Kmart has decided that they are going to sell the Delstar 7 inch netbook with Windows CE for $119.  Take a moment and let that sink it.  The icing on the cake is the picture in the ad which shows Windows XP being used.  I’m almost embarrassed.

There was a general consensus that this Black Friday, there would be some great deals on netbooks. Despite their prices already being low it made sense to think netbooks would be able to join the party.
Instead the larger full sized notebooks are getting their prices cut and it defintely makes sense. When a netbook already costs $349, there isn’t much room to drive the price down enough to get people to line up to buy one. With a full sized notebook, your able to make the price …

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.

It looks like the 2008 Black Friday deals aren’t going to be limited to the traditional brick and mortar companies.  Dell is going to be participating in the Black Friday festivities and has a treat for those willing to wake up bright and early on Friday.
They’ll be offering a Mini 9 for $299.  This is at least a $50 savings over their base configuration.  It remains to be seen if they’ll be throwing anything else in there for the price.
Is anyone planning on picking one of these up?
