Laptops were getting better, but I see that trend turning around a bit. It seems as though manufacturers have noticed that consumers are being told to look for the amount of memory a laptop has and it's the best one to get. Case in point: I have a Gateway M-Series, with:
Intel Core 2 T5450
3GB RAM
250GB HD
ATI X2400
All for $1049 retail (That's not what I spent)
The following model had all the same specs, minus the graphics, which were downgraded to Intel, but the casing was Red.
The model after that (and current) has the following specs:
AMD TL-60
4GB RAM
160GB HD
Intel graphics
All for $999 retail.
In two quarters my Gateway when from pretty nice, to sub-par processor, hard drive, and graphics, but more RAM. Doesn't this just seem weird?
