Walmart has another great computer deal this week — a brand new laptop computer with a 15.4″ display for just $498.  The Everex Stepnote NC1500 is a great all-purpose notebook system for the person who lives life on the go, and doesn’t to sacrifice features for convenience.  You’ll love the aforementioned active-matrix WXGA widescreen LCD with DiamondBrite Technology, which has 1280 x 800 maximum resolution.  You’ll also appreciate that this inexpensive notebook computer comes with a DVD+/-RW dual drive.  Added to the 60GB hard drive, it’s a perfect setup for watching movies while travelling, or making your music and video CDs and DVDs.

Windows XP Home Edition (SP2) is preinstalled, and powered by the NC1500’s 1.5GHz VIA C7-M Processor with a 256KB Cache.  You can upgrade the included 512MB DDRII 533 SDRAM to the 2GB maximum for improved future performance if you plan to use your laptop with memory-intensive software programs.  Other attractive features of the Everex Stepnote NC1500 include a variety of connectivity choices, with 56K modem, 10/100Mbps ethernet LAN, and IEEE 802.11b/g Wireless LAN all available.  3 USB ports, 1 VGA port, and an audio card with line in and line out complete this user-friendly notebook system.

You’ll navigate on this widescreen laptop PC using a two-button “glide pad”, also known as a touch pad.  The system can be powered by AC with the included adaptor, or by the rechargeable lithium ion battery.  Your computer will ship with CyberLink Power DVD and CyberLink Power2Go software for maximum enjoyment of your rewriteable DVD drive, and you’ll also get to enjoy a demo version of Norton Internet Security. 

All in all, it would be tough to ask for more in a notebook computer at this budget price!
