I saw some adds from best buy and dell today "specials on laptops" I'm like ok let's see:
- 5400RPM HDDs
- Single channel RAM (1 DIMM)
- Pentium/Celeron grade CPUs, not even i3
- Integrated GPUs not worth a damn
Prices: 400-900$.
Really? I paid 1600$ on my Dell 7 years ago and it has a Core 2 Duo 2.0Ghz, GeForce 8600M GT and 2GB of Dual channel ram w/ 5400RPM HDD. Later upgraded to 2.5GHz, 7200RPM then SSD and 4GB RAM. Even at quarter price RAM and HDD technology shouldn't be backwards up to a decade. Are those Pentiums and Celerons even at least dual core?
Oh and read this:
"500GB hard drive (5400 rpm) gives you lots of storage and fast read/write times." Really?
