What's the availability date for this? Does anyone know? cuz I don't see anything on Lenovo's site about a Core i7 option... But I'd like to spec one out to price it #lenovoy550
"On this week's 30 Rock, we found out Jack's (or Jack's designer's) choice of computer," -- Yes, and it's a Mac. The microwave oven designer is using a PC, but Jack uses an iMac - as seen earlier in the episode and in the background of that screenshot. #30rockwindows
@TheSonOfKrypton: I don't know if you're referring to that he should have one--but with the site remod the stars were taken away from many people #30rockwindows
This same thing happened on last nights episode of Smallville. First time in my life I saw a laptop with a giant Windows logo on it. Didn't know they made those.... #30rockwindows
it's possibly one of two things (or both)
1 - 30 Rock has always been pretty up front about product placement
2 - it might be to highlight the differences between Jack and the rest of the characters - Jack = corporate, everyone else = hip, artist types... #30rockwindows
@yule-and-bellow: I enjoyed the comment, but I admit these always leave me puzzled. Are we saying that Windows is crap because they have to sell their stuff so cheap to get anyone to buy it, or are we saying that Apple is way too expensive? Maybe it is meant as a double joke. In any case, I laugh both ways and have a good time, basically, because I don't know any better. #hpbestbuypackage
@Monty: I'm not into taking shots too at companies too much. I just think 3 Windows 7's for the Price of One OSX is one awesome deal. #hpbestbuypackage
I really like Win7, and am super excited about the launch. I'm in the process of choosing my newest Win7 machine.
However, I truly believe that MS is trolling tech site comment boards in a very serious way leading up to this launch. This may not be an example, but I believe it's happening.
I know brands hire agencies to do this, because I'm somewhat familiar with the process and have been involved with it before.
For example: Over at Engadget, virtually EVERY pro-Apple comment has been demoted. I don't believe this would have been the case a year ago.
I much prefer the Giz's handling of comments (promoted vs. hidden), but even it's not impervious to such deliberate "attacks".
And, might I add, I felt the same thing around the time of the Zune HD launch, especially on Amazon.com.
It's a shame because it's deceptive. It's so clearly engineered to skew comment boards & product reviews at a time when MS's products are actually very high quality (i.e. they shouldn't need to do it).
@jfwaterburry: Did you notice that so far (as of the posting of this comment) the only shown comments for this article are a.) one that mentions that you get all that for less than a 13" MBP and b.) that someone else doesn't know whether MS sucks or Apple is overpriced and they don't know any better?
I'd say Giz has a mild case of Engadget's Syndrome. #hpbestbuypackage
@caine3320: Right now, in fact, there's zero comments on this article about Microsoft sucking at all, hidden or not. Actually, all the articles about Windows 7 just seem to have less trolling from Apple fanboys since it's technically not even out yet. Things that legitimately suck, like IE or Windows Mobile have many more negative comments. #hpbestbuypackage
