I agree with both of these comments. Yes, I agree that we have become a complacent country when it comes to purchasing products. However, Jim is right about the apple deal. No one goes to Apple OR Sony for notebooks because of pricing. They are the worst! If anything Dell has the best pricing and what do you get with a dell notebook? CRAP! Yes, Sony AND Apple both have issues with their products but they shouldn't have NEAR as many BECAUSE they charge a grand more for their products. Dell, Gateway, e-Machines, Compaq, etc all have an excuse for their poor product IF it IS a poor product in the first place. They sell their products for the most part under $1000! THAT'S GREAT; but Apple and Sony shouldn't be a part of this poor product placement. They say that they want to set the bar in quality in each of their mission statements yet make the same mistakes (given not as many) as the lower priced brands! There are arguments for both sides and no one will TRULY win because ALL of these products are man-made and we all are guilty of human-error and we ALL need to remember that!
"I'm a college student looking for a new laptop, but almost all of my media I receive digitally. I'm looking for a laptop, not a netbook, without an optical drive, and budget sensitive. The optical drive will just be a waste of space, when I can have thinner laptop. What's out there?"
