I can not get over how expensive their laptops are for terrible displays.
$800 for a 14" 1366x768 display? ("HD" HA!) Their cheapest 1080 display
starts at over $1k, when my wife's laptop has an i7 and a 1080p for less
than $650. For the price they're asking, I'd rather go with a workstation
quality Lenovo with warranty, just to save some money (even WITH the
Windows license).
Granted, this is one of those areas that laptops specifically suffer in the
industry for, but if I wanted a whitebox dealer they better be cheaper than
huge professional outfits or provide some gimmicky service above and beyond
(PC Laptops' lifetime warranty comes to mind, though I haven't tried them).
Commodity hardware in desktops allow this sort of thing to happen there.
Laptop markets seem to me to always be about compromising something you
want out of your purchase.
