In a very aggressive bid to lure more customers to its store, Best Buy announced low $197 price tag for a Hewlett-Packard laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit). The HP comes with a 15.6-inch screen and an Intel Celeron 900 processor.

Other features of the HP includes a 2GB memory and a 160GB hard drive.

According to Best Buy's Doorstoppers page, each store is only guaranteed to have a minimum of five laptops per store. Best Buy said this is an in-store only special, so if this deal caught your attention, come early.

Doors open at 5 am and Best Buy will be handing out tickets for select items as early as 3 am.

HP's new laptop beats out the $249.99 Acer laptop that Best Buy unveiled last month.

Best Buy is also offering Intel Atom-based netbooks priced below $200 on Black Friday.

I'm considering leaving right now to wait in line (9:40). Is it likely at all that I will get one? I'm an inexperienced shopper.
