It seems like just the other day that I went off to college.  I remember that summer beforehand like it was yesterday – the anticipation, packing and repacking to make sure I had everything, making sure I had the biggest mini refrigerator possible, finding the perfect pair of shower sandals, saying goodbye to my high school friends.  I was just telling my fiance the other day how absurd it seems that I spent the bulk of my graduation money on purchasing my first computer.  All $1,500 of it went toward a desktop computer that I loved and adored and kept for exactly two years.  Ouch.  {Man did I ever have a heck of a Napster collection on it!}

Anyways, it’s funny how quickly things change.  I just got notice from Walmart about their current laptop sale, and the prices are phenomenal.

Walmart has a Back To School Laptop Bundle with your choice of Laptop, Case, Flash Drive & Printer starting at just $318!

They’ve obviously put this bundle together for all of the college kids that will be looking for a new laptop, but college or not, this is one heck of a deal. The computer that comes in the $318 bundle is a Compaq Black 15.6″ Presario XY871UA-ABA Factory Refurbished Laptop PC with Intel Celeron 900 Processor and Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit {$278 on its own}. It’s refurbished, which isn’t necessarily ideal, but I’ve had great luck buying factory refurbished items in the past {including a computer}. For an extra $39 you can upgrade to a Toshiba Black 15.6″ Satellite C655-S5123 Laptop PC with Intel Celeron 925 Processor and Windows 7 Home Premium {$310}. I mention this computer because my fiance swears by Toshiba. I’m a Mac groupie and he’s a Toshiba groupie.

If you ship your bundle to your local Walmart store or FedEx location they’ll throw in free shipping.

We don’t talk about too many technology deals, but if you’re in the market for a new computer, this is truly a great deal!
