Don't know if this is nationwide or not. I was in my local OD today and noticed a Compaq1400 XL244 laptop computer on clearance sale for $719.92. It was originally $1499.99. It was the display model though. Here are the specs on it:

566 Celeron MHz Processor
13.0" HPA Display
64 MB Memory
6 GB hard drive
Built-In 24X CD Rom Drive & Detached 1.44MB 3.5" Floppy Drive
Trident CyberBlade i1 AGP Video Adapter
VIA PCI Audio Controller
Touch-Pad Mouse
Two USB Ports
PS/2 Keyboard/Mouse Port
Video Output Port
Windows 98, MS Works, MS Word, Misc. Software

I have posted a copy of the sticker here.

The SKU is 470311. I can't find it on-line.
I think this is as good a deal as the walmart hp.

The HPA screen isn't as good as TFT. If you want to play games, or watch ,movies go for TFT

Not that great of a deal, actually. The HPA screen makes this laptop good for only those who want number crunching (though the CPU is too weak) or word processing. Graphics & any type of motion will look horrible on this screen. The fact is, you can find a TFT active matrix screen for not a whole lot more these days.
