Don’t get too excited, but more prices have been ‘leaked’ for Dell machines at Wal-Mart. For $498 you can get a decent box without a monitor and a few other extras, while $200 more will get you the same computer with a monitor, printer and a few other extras. As lackluster as these computers may be, it’s Wal-Mart we are talking about. If they sold body parts, people would buy them.
A little later in the month, those lucky enough to have been accepted into Sam’s Club will have their choice of an $828 multimedia bundle featuring the same Dimension E521 desktop supplemented by NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE graphics and another gig of RAM, or a 15.4-inch dual-core Inspiron 1501 notebook with a DVD burner, 2GB of RAM and a 120GB hard drive for a few cents under $900.
