Compaq 15.6-inch laptop: $280 at Office Depot (in-store only)
Office Depot is selling the 15.6-inch Compaq CQ62-410 laptop for just $280 after a $140 instant discount and a $30 mail-in rebate. Oh, and you have to go to the store to get it. After all that, though, it’s a stellar deal; a full notebook for the price of a netbook, if you will.
The machine runs Windows 7 Home Premium and has a 250-gigabyte hard drive atop two gigabytes of RAM. Battery life is pegged at over four hours, the thing weighs 5.5 pounds, and it’s got a Celeron processor. Remember those? There’s a DVD burner, too.
