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.

  • They’re already in their tents outside Best Buy for Black Friday

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.
