these are the same dudes with like $1500 worth of game consoles in their bedrooms
i don't think being able to "afford" something has anything to do with it
i can technically afford to buy a $50 bag of doritos
don't mean it makes sense to if i don't VALUE it to be worth that much
thats what it comes down to
and u keep talking about "business users" will be the main buyer of this
FOH
most business users don't even buy their laptops and most times have no input on which laptop they will be using for business
i'm typing on a wireless thinkpad T61 right now
and thinkpads are the wireless laptop MOST corporations supply their workers with (for whatever reason)
the average buyer of a MBA will be somebody between 18-30 who only cares about style and having the "new shit" and prolly will be using it for recreational type stuff
which makes the MBA a fucking ripoff (like most mac products)
