| Prostar/Sager laptops are in the lower price ranges for a laptop (come
up first at Pricewatch) but I dont know anything about them. Still,
Id not be inclined to purchase those low-end brands. This may be
unfair to Prostar/Sager but I dont think theres a lot of customer
reviews/feedback on the Prostar itself or the tech-support/customer
service Prostar gives its customers--or doesnt give. So its an
unknown. |
| The same goes for laptop gamers. Making a blanket judgment that all
laptop gamers are stupid is wrong. There may be individual
circumstances that would warrant the user buying a desktop gaming
system to augment his laptop use, but most laptop gamers make a
conscious choice that they will live with the limitations inherent
in their systems. And in many cases, it is a perfectly sound
decision because the laptop user is already familiar with his system
and many games will play just fine on his machine. In addition,
even though high-end games dont play on most laptops, they dont
play on most desktop systems, either. Most laptop gamers can get
plenty of gaming enjoyment even with a mid-level machine. However,
that doesnt mean that they wont go overboard in finding ways to
stretch those limitations and it doesnt mean that they wont spend
a lot of time window shopping for something with even more
capabilities. |

This situation puzzled me so much that I called their
U.S. laptop marketing office in Irvine, California, to
inquire. The man whom I spoke to told me that one-third
of all U.S. laptop users prefers the eraser-like pointing device
(found on U.S. Toshiba laptops), one-third prefers touchpads,
and one-third doesnt care. |
