OH YIPPEE!!!
Now that the excitement is out, time to tame it down and think straight.
The thing you want to do when buying a new...whatever is to keep your eyeballs in their sockets and lift that lower lip up and keep it shut, because if a salesperson sees the look of a Labrador retriever waiting for their dinner on your face, they'll take you for all you got.
It's time to keep Hardware Manufacturers/Resellers at a higher standard than they have shown in the past.
You have heard this from us before, but we're going to say it again, when Vista came out the world was at 3.0ghz Processors and 2-4gb of ram and what did they come out with, 512mb ram and a 1.7 processor.
Now it's been 5 years since PC sales have done any good, but 5 years ago PC's were at...3.4ghz processors and 6-8gb of memory with the option of 16gb units.
Plus the screen sizes were 15-17" but today they are promoting 12.5" screens :-D, they're still thinking tablet.
Sure, they are promoting 4k screens, but 4k has been out since 2003 so again, just a hook to get you to pay more for something that's almost 13 years old.
The other thing to consider is that these new units are being built with the New Skylake processor that hasn't been tested in the real world yet, so again, you could be buying a Space Heater ;-)
Companies are trying to make up for lost time and lost revenues and are banking on the computer ignorance that still runs rampant in our society.
Example: Just recently an article was put out about Microsoft not being clear on which systems get upgrades and which system don't, but if you would have read our post you would have known exactly which systems were available for the free windows 10 upgrade and where did we get that information...FROM MICROSOFT! :-D
If you are paying over a 1,000 dollars for a Laptop, it better be an Apple or an Alienware, otherwise you should be spending MAX 799.99 and lower.
You also have to keep in mind that a lot of computers just sat in warehouses unsold that are now being retrofitted to work with the new Cores.
We have seen this a lot over the years, with HI-FI and Computers because we have been in the business for a long time, so don't be surprised, expect it!
It's cheaper to just lag in a wire and change out the Zif socket, than melting down the board and refabricating them.
...and they'll call it...The Hybrid :-D
Example: Microsoft is going to release the Windows 10 phone this year, but not the Surface, why...because the hardware has to be built specifically for Surface and Windows 10. Once MS creates the perfect design it will then share the schematics with the likes of Intel, MSI etc.
Contrary to popular belief, electronics don't start out BIG, they're built on a smaller scale to keep costs down and the phone is the perfect device to build and test with.
That's why we think that their is going to be a Surface 5 just around the corner that will probably come out next year that will be the device that is actually designed for Windows 10, and if history repeats itself like it always does there will be a Surface 6 to fix the 5 and the Surface 7 that will fix the 6.
Windows baby is OS 10, the rest are just the models they need to put in the showroom and the lot in order to make the money they need to provide for their baby...and that's a fact!
