    No many details here, but a lunchtime trip to Office Depot to look at the ThinkPads on display resulted in a very enthusiastic (and nice) OD employee blurting too much information and saying they'd be selling some configurable laptops with 512MB of memory at the end of next week for $400. That's more memory than the rumored 256MB HP laptop from Wal Mart, he didn't say what brand this would be though because he "wasn't supposed to tell."

    Looks like $400 is going to be the price point for cheap laptops next week though.
