Topic: laptops - crazy prices Posted: September 21 2010 at 6:03pm |
*just wanting to vent my anger* The world is a joke! The prices of laptops or netbooks is shocking, when compaired to PC towers.Looking to get one of the kids a laptop to get her off my pc and the others dont feel like sharing thiers either. yet its at least £100 for a system thats about 8 years old with terrible specs. I have one of them already in a cupboard. would not dream of using it.
just becuase they are a fashion statement the world thinks it can charge over inflated prices for pieces or rubbish
anyone know of a cheap place to find one? need to remember import charges etc
not a happy man

ended up getting her a netbook - Acer EEE 900. its the 20gb version running linux, but might change it to xp when it arrives as never used that system.
released around april of 2008 with a retail of around £330 i managed to pick up a perfect condition one for £92.
its only for a ten year old (although very good at power point etc lol) so only to be used for facebook, msn and some surfing. with the HD that size i will put her music onto it as well, her ipod is only 4gb so no worries there. I have 2 usb sticks so 1 music and 1 for movies as extras.
No DVD player but she has her bedroom for that
still a sick joke the prices of ancient machines that people and companies are still charging top dollar for these days just coz they are a fashion accesory (and yes i cant spell)
