The main difference between laptops at Wal-Mart and those at Best Buy is quality. Best Buy sells Dells, HP, and Apple computers while Wal-Mart will sell Toshiba, cheaper HPs, and other not so name brand.
Dell brand Inspiron 15r laptops are the same exact price on both sites at 599$, so both Costco and Best Buy appear to be equally good deals on laptops.
Walmart and Best-buy tend to sell they same types of electronics. I think it is a matter of personal preference as to which is better based on price and brand preference.
Laptops have different features, so different models from the same brand may cost different prices. Also, multiple stores may offer the same model at different prices. Research to find the best price for the model you want.
There are many places online in which to compare laptops. One that is very reliable is Techcrunch, a person can compare the same or different brand of laptops at the same time. The site gives very reliable and unbiased information on laptops.
Walmart sells an excellent battery at a good price. They are made by the same company that makes lots of other name brand batteries. You will not go wrong buying a battery at Walmart.

For reviews from current owners, one could go to the NoteBook Review website or CNET. IBM has development information available at their website as well as a retailer locator.
Walmart sells the same brand name tires one would find at any other tire store. One can buy the same tires from stores such as Michelin, Dunlop, Birgstone.
Small laptops are convenient because people can do the same things on these smaller laptops as they would with bigger laptops but are also able to carry around the smaller laptops from destination to destination without much hassle. Smaller laptops are lightweight and compact and can easily be placed in a bag for travel. Acer is known for producing some of the best small laptops, including the Aspire one, which comes equipped with a webcam.
A laptop at Walmart can be as cheap as 500 dollars for a full size laptop. Smaller-sized laptops can cost less.
Yes, both Best Buy Canada and Best Buy (US) allow you to buy laptops from their stores online. It is best to check and see which are available online and in store as not all products are the same in store/online.
To me it does not matter as long as it covers my body. You can get a $10 pair of jeans at walmart and the same jeans at Holister and the ones from walmart could contain a higher quality. This my honest opinion! :)
