PCs: Yes, choice is good, but enough already! - Acer - 03-04-2010
Shopping for sub-$800 laptops for work. It's a morass of model lines, model numbers, OS choices (vista/vista with xp downgrade/7 home/7 pro/ubuntu), cpu's, build-to-order options--and this is repeated for every one of the half-dozen larger names and another half-dozen niche players and off-brands.
And in the end, no matter what I buy, it'll just be a crappy PC laptop...

In the race to the bottom, it's all a blur.

On your voyage to the bottom, you might want to bring one of these to protect yer a$$ while you're there...

Get a Dell with Ubuntu and be done with it. The same version of the Ubuntu outshines Windows 7 Pro Ultimate Business Elite SuperDuper version.

I buy compaq laptops for work and have been happy with them.
ARRRRrrrrrgh! - RAMd®d - 03-04-2010
I'm not interested in a PC of any kind (the Dell M-9 is enough) but the model number of some of these offerings is equally boggling if not more so.
I've seen alphanumerics 7-10 digits long. WTF!
