Facepalm

Those are ridiculous. They 100% troll me.

Have you ever seen the female sales representatives from QVC or whatever? The guy with them is like "THIS IS THE ATOM PROCESSOR" and the girl is like "YEP AND PURPLE IS THE COLOR OF THE NETBOOK."

 

Yes.

 

I can't speak for computers, but I got a Keurig Coffee Maker (Platinum Plus) with 3 boxes of coffee and several accessories for around $150, when the machine alone costs about $240 retail, not including everything else.

 

They would be referring to the MSRP of the laptop plus the accessories and software they include in the package. You can't factor in education or other discounts into the price either. Hard to say if it's false advertising without knowing exactly what else was included.

 

It could be speced up to that value too, you know.

 

I just bought one of those last week at Costco for the same price.

 

Unless Costco changed the bundle, theirs was just a Platinum with three boxes of k-cups. The one I got was a Platinum Plus with three boxes, one my K-Cup, the water filter with three carbon cartridges, and a sampler pack.
