There is no way to do business with Wal-Mart and make money. Those people will nickel and dime you to death. You need to just tell them to "go pack sand" if they ever call you.

I imagine when they say under $600 they mean $599.99. Also whats the point, you get an outdated laptop, or if you spent about $200 more (maybe 300) you could get a new laptop that would be better than that thing anyday.

"up to 128Mb" of RAM, + WinXP....
I would not be happy using that. They should save themselves some cash and sell them with 98SE or something.

They should save around $100 and just do Lindows.

Paid $900 for my laptop after rebates. AMD 64 3000, 512 MB RAM, 60 Gig, DVD-RW, 802g, widescreen, and GeForce 32 MB dedicated graphics, worth every penny to me.

Yes, you can add or replace RAM with larger modules on most laptops, and you can replace hard drives with larger units.
