Four problems with your post: First, Acer (the manufacturer) is doing it, not Amazon. Second, it does appear to be systematic. Third, refund policy is irrelevant and implies (falsely) that the issue is simply a consumer choice problem. Fourth, you ignore what is troubling: it represents the loss of general purpose computing devices as a product category, even in that last bastion of "freedom", the personal computer. Acer is a major manufacturer, and this shift is ominous.
