Walmart just posted their Black Friday ad and I must say the $200.00 laptop with Windows 7 looks very enticing...anyone else find any great deals that others should be aware about?
Also as someone who has never really taken part in this what are some good tips that I should be aware of? Should I expect to camp or what?

As a former mall cop who worked Black Friday...just remember, be patient towards those around ya. Even if they are a******s!

Be careful when you buy a laptop even for that price. $200 for a laptop usually means it will be about $800.

What are the hardware specs for this laptop, and who's the manufacturer? Knowing Wally World, it's either Acer, eMachines or HP, bare minimum specs, and a buttload of pre-loaded "extras"

The Athlon TF-20 is significantly slower than most of the newer dual-core processors out there. 2 GB actually isn't bad now that Windows 7 sips emmory (rather than devouring it like Vista did). The 160 GB HD can be upgraded for something higher later on down the road. The ATI Radeon card on this is actually pretty good. Overall, not a bad deal for a Black Friday special. I just tend to be very skeptical of anything that emachines puts out nowadays, and the quality tends to be sub-par. But then again, I do work for HP part-time, so I am a little bit biased.

I'm working at 5 in te morning at Kmart.
You might think we won't be busy, but we are the only store around with layaway, so we are about to get ravaged.

eMachine does suck, but from what I understand, they make decent laptops.

eMachine does suck, but from what I understand, they make decent laptops. My experiences: eMachienes are great if you want to surf the web and do simple things. eMachienes are the devil if you want to try to do anything advanced on the system. (AKA- Play Games for most people)

People died last year. No joke.

f*** the sales...I'm just looking forward to punching, tripping, and possibly killing people with near impunity.
Seriously, I'm not looking at ads and I'm not going out if I don't have to. I'll go to my gym. I'll take a walk. I'll read something. I'll play with my kid sister and my nephews. But I'm not taking part. And hell, I've got the AAW indie show on Saturday where I plan to buy things and infuse cash into the wrestling industry as opposed to the sports entertainment industry. Remember: WWE doesn't want one red cent of my Wrestling dollar; they do want every last penny of my entertainment dollar.

I'm not doing anything on this day. Nothing new there. I just don't feel the need to join other people in line at 5am to buy junk to stimulate the economy. I'll do that on sites such as amazon.com and tigerdirect.com.
