Panasonic? But their laptops are expensive.
- digi_owl 11y agoMore and more i get the feel that humanity need to relearn to pay for quality.
- ploxiln 11y agoIt seems like economies of scale have steamrolled quality. If one company can sell 1000x the volume to people who don't know better, then even those who do know better will often find the high-volume choice more practical due to cost and industry support just being too good to ignore.
- digi_owl 11y agoYeah i find myself reminded of an anecdote about a young lady that wanted to treat herself after landing her first job out of college. So she went to market somewhere in Asia, fund a stall selling handbags, and started to haggling by pointing out the various ways the bags where fake. Eventually she settled on a bag. She knew it was fake, she knew it would not last as long as the real thing, but she hoped it would at least hold until she climbed the corporate ladder enough that she could replace it with the real thing.
- ansible 11y agoYeah, but double or triple the price of systems with similar specs from other manufacturers? Ouch. I'd appreciate it if there was a better spectrum of choices.
