    The cost of technology

    Since I purchased my laptop last year, Lenovo sends me details about their current specials and discounts.
    I noticed in the latest email that the Intel i5 processor is now an option for the current version of my computer. I thought I'd check to see what it would cost to purchase my computer now, 12 months on ... Total price came to $1,103,858.34




    I opted not to upgrade! Lucky I bought when I did!

    Has anyone else encountered a similar problem with on-line shopping that can better my million dollar laptop?
    I bet it rarely works the other way and gives a huge discount.

    It's OK.
    I just found a huge discount.




    Now, if I can just find a way to get them to owe me $1,000,000.00 I might get that D4 I always wanted (and a Defender for weekends, Oh and a RRS for going to church ...)

    Not quite the same, but we got a bill from Telstra for over $750,000.00 once, and they disconnected our phone when we didn't pay!

    I knew that IBM/Lenovo products were pricey, but I never remember paying that much for the Laptops I have had in the past.
