I picked up a $200 laptop from WM on BF, an Emachines E627. So far, it's turned out to be great.

It supports Flash 10.1 hardware acceleration with Catalyst 9.12 drivers.
It supports AMD-V with updated BIOS available from EM, so I can use XP Mode with Win7 Pro.
And now, I've discovered that Walmart's specs are wrong. It doesn't have 802.11b/g, it has N! Task Manager is showing that my wireless connection is running at 65Mbit/sec, past the range of G speeds. And the device driver has an option mentioning N.

What a great deal!

actually still not a bad deal at $368, especially if at some point you're willing to crack 'er open and do a proc swap, haha!!
