Walmart has the Samsung Series 3 NP305V5A-A0CUS AMD Quad Core 15.6" Notebook (Silver) for $349 with free site-to-store shipping or $5 shipping to home. Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit installed; includes Windows 8 Pro upgrade option for additional $15.
I just picked one of these up today; still trying to set it up. It seems that the atheros wireless card on my LT only works on the 2.4ghz band, not the 5. I could be wrong, as I'm still trying to work things through. Otherwise, a decent LT for the $$$.
this laptop almost certainly only works on the 2.4GHz spectrum. the 802.11n spec allows for to either support 2.4GHz only or both 2.4GHz and 5GHz, so all the inexpensive N devices out there don't support 5GHz.

Thanks, lordbob99. It's a bit of a bummer, but I can work around the issue. For $349, it not a baconkiller by any means.
