WOW, Lenovo pricing

[Dragon_Cooler]

11,000$$$ for a laptop. Certainly a good drop in price from 13,000$$$

[skier]

it must be the SSD

[vicaphit]

Even a solid state drive wouldn't make me pay $11000 for something with a 1.2ghz processor.

okay this is the X300, which has an LED CCFL Wide Screen Format Screen, a 64GB SSD, which go for about 6k right now, Wireless N, Bluetooth, DVD Burner, 1GB of Memory and Ultra Low Voltage Intel Chip, and a Camera. So, that price is right. This laptop can boot XP from off to useable desktop in 5secs flat. I'm seen it, and used it in work.

I can't see buying 64gigs of space for 6k just to be able to boot fast.

I was almost certain that it was a typo when i went to the site. I really want the x300, but for that HELL NO!!!!!

welcome to conundrum that is computing and the single largest bottleneck

not only are they slow as hell there also the most common things to fail.

[Dragon_Cooler]

BUT THE PRICE!!!!!!!!

[Methious]

That's some hefty coinage considering you can buy some new cars for that.

[Dragon_Cooler]

Well what is confusing me is that when they first came out they were $3000, on sale for like $1500. what on gods green earth made it jump $8000 in price?!?!?!? W T F !

[dicecca112]

Faster ones are coming out, larger sizes.

[bmaverick]

If the Lenovo is in China and the machine is made in China, why is it priced so high?

In the last week there was a postin about an Intel memory chip to fit on the edge of your finger. Can't recall if the thing was 4gb or 8gb. If a bunch of em were place onto card for 64gb the price should not be through the roof.

For crying out yonder the price of 8gb thumb drives times 8 of em should be about 400 clams. A person should be hog tied spending several thousand for anything like that.

That's how its always been, and how it will always be. The R&D costs have to be paid by someone, the manufacturer techniques will always need to be refined so that the prices will come down.
