According to Engadget, the specs for the new Dell Inc. desktop systems offered by Wal-Mart are similar to systems offered on Dell.com with only very small price differences. You’ll save on shipping if you buy at Wal-Mart, but these aren’t systems you’ll be able to customize online before you buy.
Although these specs are still unconfirmed by Dell, commenters on the site, who are said to include Wal-Mart employees and eagle-eyed mailout-watchers, are saying the information is legit and that when shoppers visit Wal-Mart, starting Sunday they should be able to find these systems on shelves.
The two systems are a Windows Vista Home Premium computer with a 19-inch LCD monitor running an Athlon X2 3600+ processor for $698 and a $498 similarly configured system minus the monitor.
