Update on low cost laptops
In yesterday’s post about Wal-Mart’s sale of $298 Compaq laptops, I mentioned possible Windows 7 upgrade considerations. Computerworld reports that HP, owner of the Compaq brand, will not be providing free Windows 7 updates for this particular sale:
Wal-Mart will start selling a fully loaded laptop from Hewlett-Packard for a breakthrough price of $298 on July 26, but it may have a caveat: The Windows Vista OS included with the machine may not qualify for a free upgrade to Windows 7.
The laptop — a Compaq Presario CQ60-419WM — has attracted attention because of its low promotional price and generous features, which include a large screen, fast processor and Windows Vista Home Basic OS.
