GM, is Intel saying a ten-year-old kid needs a Maserati if he want to learn to drive?
Sounds like it.
And Dell would probably agree (as well as Gateway, etc.).
But, realistically, what percentage of the PCs bought for pre-teens are going to be mid- or high-end machines? I thought the sub $1000 PC was the market that was growing the fastest.
As far as the article goes, it's slightly misleading. A 266 MHz today is a low-end machine, not a mid- or high-end machine. Who, today, is buying a 486? No one (that's buying a new machine).
Regards, and best wishes,
Larry
PS: I've got a Gateway 133 MHz, bought new three years ago, and it's a dinosaur compared to what's available in today's market, for a fraction of my original purchase price.
