A plastic computer is not the same as one from machined aluminium. They may have similar specs, but they are not the same computer and the premium you pay falls directly into the spots where your specs fall apart.
- p1esk 9y agoGot any data to support you opinion?
- dkonofalski 9y agoWut? Are you suggesting that it's just my opinion that machined aluminium is not the same as formed plastic?
- p1esk 9y agoNo, I agree they are not the same. I thought you were implying machined aluminum is better.
- urbanj 9y agoDo you have any data to suggest machined aluminium isn't better?
- dkonofalski 9y agoThe word "better" is too subjective to make any kind of meaningful assessment.
- kartickv 9y agoBut that still doesn't mean I'd pay $1000 more for aluminium. $100? Okay. $1000? No.
- dkonofalski 9y agoThat's fine, but if aluminium costs $1000 more and there are obvious benefits, then it's no longer the same computer for $1000 less. The quoted Dell is not $1000 cheaper for the same computer because it's objectively not the same computer.
