Is $200 the magic number for PCs? | |
|
||
| Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

While big-name PC makers like Hewlett-Packard and Gateway offer desktops priced as low as $399, without a monitor, smaller manufacturers are finding an audience by offering less-expensive machines, starting as low as $199. The PCs don't have Windows preinstalled but rely on software from several companies, including Lindows, that use the open-source Linux operating system, which can be used as an alternative to Microsoft's Windows. Dropping Windows is part of the reason why manufacturers can sell the PCs so cheaply. | ||

No, the real bargain was the Toshiba Satellite laptop I saw for $699 at Microcenter last night.
1.5Ghz Celeron, 256Megs DDR, 20Gig drive, 14" TFT screen... Got me thinking. |

BMW should stop offering cars with automatic transmissions to prevent this abuse of the brandname. :-) |
