He does bring out a point about something I have never understood: why does the PC industry love putting stickers on laptops? It is a really annoying and ugly practice.
- egypturnash 14y agoIIRC it involves money. And the Wintel manufacturers have a lot of history in distinguishing on price, so they'll gladly gunk things up with stickers in exchange for some bucks off of the components.
- rbanffy 14y agoI'd assume the small "Intel inside" and "Designed for Windows" ones (as well as the "X recommends Windows Y" notices on product pages) are in some extent considered paid advertising, as they ate part of pricing agreements.
- linker3000 14y agoYep, back in the days when I was involved with a PC assembly company, the Intel Inside marketing programme had financial benefits for those who put the stickers on their machines.
