Found one in the wild!

Decent enough - bit pricey but nothing on an ultrabook

Yikes, the thin costs. In Blighty, a few mm more = 100 gbp less ;)

This is an old thread

Psonuomnman......i am really wanting a new Notebook....but i simply can't believe

the excruciating high price of notebook computers.....literally in the UK now...

And the way they are ramming down  your nose on TV adverrts......about 400 pounds


this is....basically best part of 700 dollars?........for a CHIP in some plastic with a screen?

This is indeed WHY the whole of london city areas are filled with electronics

store.s...because of teh INSANE profts from it....everybody wants a foot in the pool.


These underpowered piddly little netbooks....they have been spread like a desease
over the home computing market for like 5 years now....

only to FIND OUT that they have even "increased in price?.."......even when it's 5 year old technology....

Now to give you  some idea....a CELL PHONE is jammed to capacity with technology and contains may CPUS's in most cases.....and extremeyl expensive TRANSCEIVERS and also other design elements that make a CELL PHONE a very advanced device

yet a new cell phone is 6 dollars?...........now ask yourself.....where is the 700 dollars for a notebook coming from?......what the hell is going on?   (those are the UK prices now.......3 pounds for a cell phone......400 for a laptop.....?

the answer is this.....it's robbery.....the electronics manufactures all LEVEL the playing field with prices.....and that is what EVERYBODY HAS TO PAY......shut up.

sure there are Pi's  computers.....and they really are Special because they proove the
point i have made above....it's not needed to charge the earth for laptops


the irony is they are often "thrown away' pretty quik.....such a waste .....ridiculous indeed...

i will leave you thinking.....

i am moaning really....because i just can't have a nice new notebook....but i still stand by what's above

Vince.
