I missed this over the weekend, but Dwight Silverman does a good job of breaking down the $100 PC available during the Thanksgiving Shopping spree.

Surprise, surprise, the $100 for a PC really isn’t quite the deal it appears to be.

It’s already complicated enough for someone without a lot of tech knowledge, why make the shopping experience confusing too?
