5 Black Friday Laptops That Aren’t Worth the Lost Sleep and Long Lines

Josh Smith — Wed, 24 Nov 2010 16:39:48 +0000

Standing in line on Black Friday isn’t just about getting a good deal. For some shoppers the experience is worth more than the HDTV or laptop that it results in. But, even if you’re having fun there are some Black Friday laptops that just aren’t worth waiting in line for, or even worth staying up late to order online.

Here are some of the worst deals for Black Friday 2010. We hope you’ll avoid these bad buys and look at Five laptops worth standing in line for. You can also view all the Black Friday laptops in a sortable list by store, price, specs and more.

7″ Sylvania Netbook – $95 at CVS

As far as bad netbooks go, this Sylvania netbook is at the top of the list. It doesn’t run Windows 7 like a rel netbook, but instead Windows CE which technically will allow you to get online and edit some text documents, but for all but the most basic needs (and someone with lots of patience) this is only to be given to people you don’t like. You can get the Compaq CQ10-405DX for $149 at Best Buy and it’s a real netbook.

Augen 7″ Netbook PC Powered by Android (model NBA7400A) - $89 Kmart

Similar to the Sylvania netbook, this Android netbook which Kmart is selling n Black Friday is not worth the price. Multiple accounts report an incredibly slow operation and since you don’t have access to the official Android Marketplace getting new programs is more trouble than most users will want to go through. Unless you have been looking for an underpowered Android netbook all year, pass for the Compaq from Best Buy.

HP G56-126NR 15.6″ Laptop w/AMD V-Series Processor – $349.99 at hhgregg

If the specs on this $350 Black Friday laptop look familiar, it’s because they are almost identical to the $198 Toshiba Satellite C655D-S5089 Black Friday doorbuster from Best Buy that was on our list of laptops worth waiting in line for. There’s no reason to pay an extra $150 for the same laptop on Black Friday — or any day of the year for that matter.

Sony VAIO EB VPCEB3AFM/WI 15.5″ Dual Core – $399 at Best Buy

At $399 you do get the Sony name and design that is often a price premium, but there’s not enough here to set this VAIO EB series apart from it’s under $400 Black Friday laptop peers.

Toshiba Satellite C655D-S5088 Dual Core 15.6″ – $429 at Office Max

Again, it’s not that this laptop is a bad one, it will meet the needs of many home users, but the price doesn’t justify waiting in line on Black Friday; especially when you can get a similarly spec’d laptop for $100 less!

To help you out we are looking at Notebooks in each price range to help you find the best Black Friday Laptop that fits your budget. This guide will show you all the notebooks available on Black Friday for $501 to $600 and let you know which one we think is the best.

Remember to look at our Black Friday Buying Guide – 10 Things to Look for When Buying your Black Friday Laptop or NetBook, before you head out for Black Friday 2010.

Best Black Friday Laptop Under $600 (Click the name to see specs and what the laptop should be able to handle.)

Dell Inspiron 15R 15.6″ Intel Core i3 @ Dell.com – $579 ($119 off)
Toshiba Satellite L655-S5103 15.6″ Intel Core i3 @ Office Max - $549 ($149)
Aspire AS5742-7120 15.6″ Intel Core i3 @ Office Max $529 ($100 off)
HP dm4-1160us 14″ Core i5 @ Office Max – $549 ($150 off)
Dell Studio 15 15.6″ Core i3 @ Costco – $599 ($100 off)

The Winner:

After carefully looking at the specs and power of each Black Friday Laptop under $600 we’ve chosen the HP dm4-1160us as the best Black Friday deal for under $600. This 14″ notebook comes packed with an Intel Core i5 processor, 4GB RAM and a 500GB hard drive. It also has an metal finish that makes it more durable than most notebooks in this price range, especially on Black Friday.

The Loser:

As far as bad Black Friday deals go in the $600 laptop range, we have to pick the Dell Studio 15 from Costco because it doesn’t offer anything extra over the cheaper notebooks in this price range. If you are already a Costco member and shopping there on Black Friday it’s still an OK deal, but otherwise look at the Dell Inspiron 15R straight from Dell for a bit cheaper or go to OfficeMax for the Toshiba Satellite L655-S5103 that’s only $529.

Keep in mind that if you want to spend less, you can pick up a similarly configured Black Friday Laptop deal for under $500. For all of those deals, check out Notebooks.com’s Best Black Friday Laptop under $500.

HP Pavilion DV5-2134 14.5” Dual Core @ Staples – $399 (~100 off)

Best Black Friday Laptop Under $400:

For the Best Black Friday Laptop Under $400 we recommend the HP G62-340US 15.6″ Dual Core laptop from Office Depot which is $329 after a $50 Mail in Rebate. This notebook is a much better value than the numerous Black Friday Laptops under $300, thanks to a dual core processor, 3GB or RAM and a dedicated GPU.

Best Black Friday Laptop Under $400 Runner Up:

If you can afford to spend $400 on a Black Friday laptop we suggest the HP Pavilion DV5-2134 14.5” Dual Core Laptop from Staples because it has an aluminum shell which you won’t find in almost any other laptop in this price range on Black Friday.

Worst Black Friday Laptop for Under $400:

The Sony VAIO EB VPCEB3AFM/WI 15.5″ Dual Core laptop from Best Buy and the Lenovo G560 model (0679-99U) 15.6″ Dual Core Laptop from Office Depot are the worst buys in this category because they doesn’t offer enough to differentiate themselves from the lower priced laptops in this range.

This isn’t as good as the Black Friday deal on the Acer ASPIRE AS5742-7653 which has a faster Core i5 processor for $499, but it is still a good find.

The Acer Aspire AS5742-7120 comes with the latest Intel processor technology, a 2.4GHz Intel Core i3-370M CPU, 4GB of RAM and a 320GB hard drive. The Acer Aspire AS5742-7120 has a 15.6″ display offering a 1366 x 768 resolution and includes a 1.3MP webcam.

This notebook is a good find for the home user who wants to do more than just surf the web and work on office documents. You’ll have enough horsepower to edit photos and work on small video projects. You will also notice that the computer is much snappier than the $399 Black Friday laptops when it comes to running multiple programs at once. This computer is not much more expensive than the dual core Black Friday Laptop deals we are seeing from Office Depot, Walmart and Best Buy, but offers way more performance for your dollar.

The Office Max Black Friday 2010 add just leaked and it is filled with a lot of Black Friday Laptop deals including a deal on the HP G56-123N 15.6″ dual core laptop. The HP G56 is a fairly capable notebook that will be available for $369 on Black Friday at Office Max.

With an Intel Pentium T4500 Dual-Core dual core processor, 3GB RAM and a 250GB hard drive the HP G56-123N will suffice for surfing the web, emailing and working on word documents. Users can also expect to do some light photo editing and the occasional video edit and upload to YouTube. The HP G56-123N also has a SuperMulti DVD drive which allows users to back up to a CD or DVD.

If you are looking for a general use computer and don’t plan to edit a lot of video or play games this is an OK deal. There are other deals, like the Acer ASPIRE AS5742-7653, which for a little over $100 more gets you the latest technology.
