So... is the extra ~ $400 worth the design and aesthetics?
Plus, it's a Gateway (lol)... I'm sure I could find even better price/performance.
- you are asking if $400 is worth the design in a design forum? How about I ask you to do crappy work for $400 off?fooler2
- Design work is the same as how a laptop looks?********
- I value functionality over form in computing devices... but maybe I'm just strange like that?********
- the size and price are *huge to me as a frequent traveler... Air's won't take over the market, but they have their place...jfletcher
- someone had to "design" it and it looks better than that gateway so yes, I'd pay the extra $fooler2
- I think they have their place as well... I just thought it'd be interesting to see how much -design- can be valued for laptops********
- Interesting fooler... What would be your cutoff price? Would you pay 2x for good design?********
- ...and size and form factor.sublocked
- I'll be honest... if the Air was a bit cheaper (600-700) I'd buy it********
- at the same resolution, 15.6" < 11.6". Willing to bet it uses a TN/dithered display tookpl
- the fuck do you need 4 USB ports for. and ethernet? seriously?********
- Additional storage... you'll fill up 64GB fast********
- Ethernet for gigabit computer-to-computer transfer, faster connections when ethernet is available********
- people who want to buy this thing aren't the types who need more than 64GB.********
- these are internet surfers and Word document makers. not fucking 3D animators.********
- i think you're missing the point of this product. you are not the target for it... don't buy it. simple as that.********
- it's more than double the air's weight - you'd bloody expect it to have better specs. fuck people are stupid.inteliboy
- but it's 15" and heavy. isn't the whole point being thin, small, and light?pango
- did you actually put this chart together? lol.mcmillions
- he cant afford the air but the green color makes him feel betterohmygodiamhere
