That person and whoever designed the current gen XPS
YES lol, exactly. I had the chance to buy either an M1710 (red) with all the new hardware or the M170 with all the old hardware, and I'm a big looks guy, so I decided to go M170. That's pretty extreme for most people, trading a 25% performance increase for looks, but hey, if it's ugly, it's ugly. I wasn't that extreme, getting the 25% increase would have cost a lot more than the M170 but still.
But guys, you gotta realize, we all are into computers, most people aren't, and because they aren't for some reason they seem like the most ignorant people on earth. They really cannot upgrade hardware, let alone want to. I've upgraded parts in like 3 of my friend's PC's for money. If all people were like us, there would be no Geek Squad.
I mean I'm into cars, and even DRIVING cars, and seeing a guy that isn't into cars try to talk about them is just like "uhh dude, are you literally retarded or.....", and ESPECIALLY driving cars. Out here in Colorado I'm not joking, no less than 99.99999% of people out here are horrible drivers. The only reason it's not 100% is cause I know myself and 2 other people that can drive well. Turn signals I'm pretty sure, people don't even know what they are anymore. And if they see one on they'll floor it to not let the guy in. Acceleration, I think people must have Coloradan-custom-installed pedals for "go" and "idle", like 2 switches. Most people hit "idle" out of a green light or anywhere from a stop, and when they hit "go" it's just to block you from getting into a lane, never to pass someone. I see Ferrari 360's out here, Corvette's everywhere, "Chevy" muscle cars cause although it's a hippie state, they still like the crappiest of all muscle companies (I'm a Ford guy), and they probably accelerate even SLOWER than normal cars. And neck-and-necking in lanes, well there's really no other way to drive I think, like these people have to have spotters everywhere they go. Oh and the most annoying part, not involving driving, is the asses with nice cars and tinted windows so they can't see anyone acknowledge their cars. No one has any manners, sociality, or personality on the road or even in person, so no one's kind enough to say "thanks" or "nice car" or wave their hands.
I'm not even gonna go into the rest, but as you can see, I know any of you guys including myself could make a list just as big about how stupid computer ignorant people are, so they really need this kind of computer. Just like I think the idea of "auto-drive" highways, with the magnets in them and the fully-automated vehicles, is a good idea. Even though I personally would be pissed off if it ever happened, the majority of people it would help (JUST like if I saw this piece Dell in real life) so it's kind of a good thing
-- Probably just a key or something.
, the things I've mentioned probably would address just about any other issue anyone here has mentioned.
