Most normalslime wouldn't appreciate a laptop that lasts them 5+ years and wouldn't know if the keyboard on the laptop is crap.
Could you at least flip them back round to test them out?

Office depot is shit but their chair sales are pretty dope. Got me a $300 Lazyboy for 60 bucks with tax during one of their promos, on top of signing up for their membership which netted me another 25% off

no. they were all bolted to the display table.

Nice blog. You've finally seen confirmation of every time someone says normal people don't care about some obscure tech thing. Consumers don't care about anything you mentioned.

I don't think I've gotten this angry in a long fucking time. I could only imagine this guy's fucking boss hearing that go down.

macbooks are the only decent laptops being made from quality materials now days. everything else is low grade plastic. and when i saw low grade i mean LOW fucking grade. I actually pushed my thumb down hard on one of the laptops and it cracked it. They are pumping out literal shit. It's not even a product anymore. It's almost like cattle feed meant to be consumed.

how do we get back to 2007 era laptops?

You're kidding

How is it even possible to undercharge by that amount? Maybe if there was a wrong sale price or something but how is it possible to be off by 10 cents? All you do is scan the barcode, wtf

>something needs to be done about this and soon.

It's been done already for years. It's called "shopping online after thorough research". Works amazingly well for my computers, phones, trucks, motorcycles, machine tool accessories, acetylene torches and regulators, TIG and MIG supplies, Korean pepper paste, nuts, bolts, more Korean pepper paste, paint, corrosion inhibitor, vitamins, washing machine (Speed Queen is da bomb which is why laundromats use them) etc.

Why oh why do you fools actually travel to brick and mortar stores for anything besides building supplies and car/truck tires?

Why do you even slightly give a shit what they stock? Are you some old fuck who misses his Montgomery Ward catalog? (I'm an old fuck who remembers those and misses nothing about that shit.)

>Be me
>Don't give a fuck

enjoy paying all those shipping charges.
>inb4 prime
enjoy paying that too

I'd rather go into a store than give Jeff Bezos a cent more money.

amazon is a meme now. after he let the chinks sell their wares on there that site went to shit fast. now whenever i search for something i have to spend like 20 minutes scrolling past all the shipped from china listings before i can finally find one sold by amazon.

>>tell her to go on ebay and buy an x220 with windows 7
>telling an old lady to go buy an x220 on ebay
I'll take things that never happened for $100, Alex.

Make your own laptop case out of fine lumber and plexiglass and fill it with only the best of guts.

You cannot pay for something to be delivered at your house? Why should it ever be free? Are there no costs in logistics? Convenience has a price. Retard.
Then be a bad goyim and support small on-line shops, they appreciate it.

I feel bad, actually, for the computers, not the consumers, they sit around getting no love. I'd buy them if they didn't charge so much.

how the fuck aren't you just filtering on shit that ships prime at least. kills all the shit shipping from china at least, and then you just look amazon to be the seller.

Buy a laptop from 2007.

Can you faggots please stop sharing with the thinkpad meme?
You're driving prices up.
Also imagine the fucking cringe of seeing a fat autist scoff at the laptop isle while recommending 10 year old laptops to people and tipping his fedora.
