HP eyes Black Friday special with sub-$100 Android tablet

Intel has got the scoop on some tablet deals for Black Friday, including an Android tablet that's very light on the wallet.
That 7-inch HP tablet, branded the Mesquite, packs an Intel processor and will sell for $89 at Walmart. Don't expect any barn-burning specs, though. You'll likely get what you pay for.
And Intel has the skinny on a few more deals too.
For instance, if you buy a PC at Costco for $600 or more, you can get a $180 (regular price) Dell Venue 8 tablet (also Android) for $99.
Dell's Venue 8 is also slated to go on sale for $130 direct from Dell, according to Intel.
Intel also cited $100 off the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 at Best Buy, for a sales price of $300.
That $100-off number, however, appears to be slightly inaccurate, as that Tab 3 is already discounted to $360 on Best Buy's sales page.
