Laptop prices rising
Has anyone noticed that laptop manufacturers like Acer, Dell, etc. are mostly selling stock now off the shelves with only Vista home basic on?
The units with Home Premium on have actually gone up in price. There are also fewer models that come with Premium on.
Clearly trying to keep the upgrade costs down for when Windows 7 hits the shelves.
I noticed this tonight really while looking for a new laptop for my daughter. I looked at an Acer machine from PC World that was the same as mine that I had purchased in march of this year. It was purchased as a recon from them as the model is not a current store purchase.
I liked it because of the blue-Ray and 17" along with a few other good points. This machine was originally £699 but I got it for £299. They are doing the offer again now on their website but the price is now £389.99.
There are a few other models that seem to have crept up about £90 too.
Now this is not good and deffinately not advertised. is this fair on shoppers?
I don't think so!
