and we all are interested in computers (or else we wouldn't be in this thread)
the MBA does not cost THAT much dude
it's not like we're talking about a bentley or something ONLY a rich person could buy
like someone said earlier, the majority of us if not all could go buy a MBA RIGHT NOW. i think u are overvaluing the effect a $3000 purchase has on the avg. person life
many of the ppl in high tech already have multiple computers to, so it's not a case of we can't afford to add another ...just because. because we can
shit i have 4 laptop alone (3 personal 1 work)
and 2 of my personal laptops i NEVER use, just because i don't give a fuck
i'd buy a MBA if it was actually a good product that did more then look nice
but it's not. that's the point
at least when a rich person buys a $400K ferrari , they are getting something that looks nice AND easily outperforms what the broke ass ppl own
i can go get a toshiba satellite that weighs maybe 2-3 pounds more then the MBA and has similiar specs for like $800
most of the MBA mark up is brand awareness and design marketing
not really innovation or superior technology
