from my dealings on retail floor one thing drives sales:

whats in the sat ad!!!!!

lets package a CTX heap, generic monitor, and low end printer for one convienent price...

one weekend cpq, then PB, ACER

THAT is what people go for......very little research is done and a majority dont even know why they "need" one. Not to sound demeaning but many NEW buyers dont have patience or knowledge to really do much with a PC.

doesnt matter, what is cheapest i will buy is ringing in the stores.

more sophisticated buyers go for the overpriced HP

stores dont care.....they make money on service plan, printer cables, etc.

jsut my 2 cents
