It’s Monday! Time for some handpicked gadget deals.
Acer 10.1-inch netbook: $179.99 (Target)
With the imminent run-up to Black Friday, we’ll see plenty of deals on netbooks. Target comes out of the gate swinging with the 10.1-inch Acer Aspire One at $180. You’ll have to find it in-store, though, which we all know means you’ll end up spending at least $280 since nobody’s ever left Target without dropping $100 on random household items.
Flip MinoHD camcorder: $109.99, today only (Amazon)

The deal is good today only.
RCA 42-inch Plasma TV: $399 (Walmart)
Walmart is blowing out a 42-inch RCA plasma TV at just under $400. The set weighs a whopping 50+ pounds, which makes shipping a bit on the expensive side, but you can have it shipped to the nearest Walmart store in your area for free and pick it up yourself.

BioShock 2 PC download: $9.99 (Games for Windows)

Be sure to play it late at night with all the lights off and the volume turned up really loud. It’s not scary at all.
Gateway 10.1-inch netbook: $179.99 (Best Buy)
This Gateway netbook is basically a shot-for-shot remake of the Acer posted earlier in the list, except you’ll have to go to a Best Buy store to get it instead of Target. Both of the machines go retro with Windows XP Home, which some argue makes a pretty good netbook operating system.
Seagate 2TB external hard drive: $99.99 (Staples)
Hoard! Hoard until you can’t hoard a single additional file, then add another two terabytes of storage now that it can be had for under $100. You’ll never need to delete another file ever again as long as you live.
TCL 32-inch LCD TV: $249.98 (Amazon)
