Asus notebooks, netbooks rumored to be headed to a Wal-Mart near you

The latest rumor surrounding Asus is calling for their notebook and netbook lineups to begin landing in Wal-Mart locations.  This report comes as Asus is hoping to not only surpass the 650,000 notebooks (including netbooks) they sold in the US last year, but also break the one million mark.  Of course, you can already grab an Eee PC from Target or Best Buy, however nothing really screams low-cost laptop like Wal-Mart. 

As of now an exact time frame has not been announced, however they are estimating the availability as sometime in the second half of 2009.  Additionally, no mention was made on whether Wal-Mart plans to have these units in-store or just online.  If nothing else, let’s just hope these are running Windows XP, because I seem to remember a few other Linux-based low-cost computers not doing so well in Wal-mart’s past.
