Review title: Bogus - Better Deals on Dell.com
Product review: At the time of writing, Dell was offering an Inspiron 1300 through their Small Business unit about $650 with the following specs:Pentium M 735 (1.7GHz/400MHz FSB), Windows XP Home, 14.1" WXGA display, 512mb DDR2 SDRAM, 40GB HDD, CD-RW/DVD Combo, Wifi.Not an astounding machine by any stretch, but illustrative at exposing just how misleading, disingenuous, and paltry this "75%" deal is. For shame, Amazon -- this ad is *intended* to mislead people that may not be technically savvy, who would think they're getting a great deal. This is an hostile advertising/marketing tactic, and you should be ashamed of yourselves.To use this line of reasoning, you could advertise a 3" color television for 90% off, and make it available for $75 -- because, as we all know, they cost over $1100 (inflation adjusted) in 1948.[...]
