Then you have played right into their hands. I regualrly use sub-$1,000 laptops that are extemely well built and reliable. Lexus is very worried about Hyundai's new luxury models, escpecially the new Genesis, which cost a fraction of what a Lexus cost. They should be worried, as Hyundai is eating their lunch by competing directly with them on quality and selling for much less. The only factor left to overcome for Hyundai is the cachet factor. Dell has been doing this for years and is equal in quality to Apple. Happily for Dell customers, saving money is more af an issue than pumping cachet. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
