The the Everex StepNote VA4100M, from Walmart.com, comes preinstalled with Windows Media Center edition.  It’s an appropriate operating system for this inexpensive notebook computer which will let you listen to music, watch movies, and burn your own CDs.  It truly is a media center.

The Everex Stepnote has a widescreen, 15.4″ display which delivers 14400 x 900 WXGA+ resolution with more than 16 million colors.  Graphics are supported by a VIA Chrome9 HC IGP graphics card.   As previously mentioned, it has a DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive, and CyberLink Power DVD software is preinstalled to help you make the most of it.

As for the inner-workings of this nice budget notebook PC, it’s got a 1.46 GHz Intel Celeron M Processor 410, 512MB of RAM (upgradeable to 2GB), and a large 60GB hard drive.  IEEE 802.11b/g wireless LAN makes it easily to wirelessly connect to the Internet, but this computer also has a 56kbps fax/data modem installed for dialup use.  There are three USB ports, and rounding out the package is a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, as well as a 65-watt AC adapter.   Don’t forget that Walmart.com offers free shipping to your local Walmart store.
