Powerful yet Still Girly Notebook (Overpriced)

Raven 08-13-2006

Proving once again that people seem to be willing to overpay for underpowered gadgets that could possibly be seen as "fashionable," Samsung has released a new £1,300 ($2,460) notebook whose main (read: only) selling point is its bright pink exterior. At this price point we'd expect to see words like "Core Duo" and "GeForce" on the spec sheet, but the new 12.1-inch Q40 only manages to throw down a disappointing 1.2GHz ULV Core Solo processor, just 512MB of RAM, a scant 60GB hard drive capacity, and those integrated Intel graphics which will only please gamers who are into Minesweeper and Sudoku. Still, you are getting a built-in DVD burner and Windows XP Professional as the operating system, so this lappy isn't a total lost cause. Although the shiny Q40 is available exclusively at PC World, we have a feeling that you'll soon be seeing it in the hands of celebutantes worldwide, and perhaps even being given away as a door prize on a future episode of My Super Sweet 16.

Seriously are you fucking kidding me. Don't get me wrong the specs are pretty good but in no way worth the cost of it. Someone please get me a sales list of this item. I would really like to see how many they actually sel especially at that price.

I really not much computer savy but I'm not going to pay a mark up price just to have a computer in pink. If you look at the deal alot of you got in on with that notebook from dell. You all got more features then that and only play $500 for it. So I can just get some stickers to girlify my computer.
