tahnanOK. I yield. I am now willing to pay someone $20 if they can tell me what laptop to buy.
I'm serious, but I'm also serious about "what laptop to buy"--I don't mean saying "Get an iBook. Where's my $20?" I mean sitting down with me, helping me navigate all of these stupid webpages, helping me figure out what I need from a laptop and what all these goddamned technical specs mean.
IBM and Apple both seem to sell laptops on the premise that you're one of two people: the person who understands all these tech specs and is able to sort through them and decide what you want, or the person who's willing to shrug and say "Yeah, that's probably about right, I'll just take that one." I'm neither of these people.
And I am really, really frustrated.
