| Loop, that's because when people who don't know much about computers go and shop for one, they are always recommended something insane. You should know that. I have stood by customers countless times at places like Best Buy, CompUSA, etc and just listened to the sales person force the customer into buying some $800+ beast machine when a basic $250 Compaq laptop from Wal-Mart would blow their minds just the same because that's all they needed in the first place and they just don't know it because some tool bag told them that budget laptops are useless.
People come to me for advice on computers 24/7 and are surprised when I tell them to go buy the Lenovo desktops that are always on sale for $300 and I have even seen some Dell's for $250. Then, when we get it all setup, they love it. I install MS Office 2010 and Photoshop CS6 and more and these budget computers run them flawlessly.
People just need to stop letting "sales" douches tell them how to spend their money. Their job is sales, so all they know how to do and are trained to do is rape people for as much cash as possible. Who cares what their needs and budget are. Christ, I can't even get into the poor parents who have newly enrolled college students and the snake salesman tells them that only the new Retina display $2,300 MacBook Pro will help your child graduate... :faint: :faint: :faint: |
