If anything, now first time computer buyers will learn you get what you pay for...
Yep, but you got to realize that for many people that's all they can afford to spend on a computer.I think they could get allot more at that price with a desktop but that's just me.On the bright side it may drive the price of good laptops down a bit.
I bought my Compaq 555 megahertz Celeron in 99 for $900. At purchase, it had 10 gigs, 64 megs of RAM, and a CD ROM. I've upgraded it since then.....and bought 2 other computers and about $2000 worth of hardware and software....They got me!
