Best Buy is discounting this AMD-based eMachines laptop
Ok. Relax, I’m not going to write a post about every single bargain I hear about, but this one is worth it… I think.
On Cyber Monday, the best deals are not online!
Interestingly enough, Best Buy’s best laptop deal of the day, a $330 eMachines “single-core” Athlon Windows Vista-based laptop, is not available online… on Cyber Monday!
Patrick Moorhead, AMD’s VP of Advanced Marketing, alerted us of this deal found at a Best Buy store in Austin, TX.
eMachines laptop price change: from $500 to $299 to $330
But what’s mind boggling is that Moorhead bought the same machine for $299 on November 15th! If you can’t believe it, click here for a copy of his receipt. The original price for the eMachines laptop was $500 on November 2nd.
I thought such price fluctuations were more typical of an erratic stock market than of the PC business. But obviously I was wrong!
And yes, Moorhead is the AMD exec who told us he doesn’t believe in Netbooks in a recent interview (see below).
