Students! Don't get scammed for back to school computer shopping.
,----[ Quote ]
| There are only a few more weeks left before students go back to school and
| technology companies are gearing up for one of the most busiest seasons of the
| year.
|
| Even though having a laptop is not mandatory for college or university
| studies, students often justify the purchase by saying that they need it
| desperately for school. I have worked in several large computer stores that
| have back to school specials for students and let me tell you that its all
| about revenue and scamming the customers. These large computer stores want to
| extract as much money as possible from customers and are willing to go the
| distance in confusing students and their parents in order to make that extra
| profit. For example, I was told shamelessly straight to my face when buying a
| netbook that the company does not make a lot of money from the sale of a
| laptop and that I should purchase something else on top.
