- ajsnigrutin 1y agoSure, but the retail price of a ASUS E410 laptop (some celeron, 4gb ram, 64gb storage) is currently $159 on bezos' website. So for the same price, I either get some small gadget that is horrible to actually use (just try scrolling through tens of pages on this), or a full featured laptop (yes, performane-wise it sucks, but less than the gadget) and just run gEdit fullscreen. Keyboard included.
- nkrisc 1y agoI’m sure with the volume of products that ASUS produces they can really lower costs due to economy of scale.
