Anyone who had worked with a ThinkPad knows that the high value 
justifies the high price. I always say to them: I'll forget how much 
money I paid within six month but I wouldn't forget the poor quality if 
I had to work on a cheapo laptop every day.

And those buying just because it's sooooo cheap do not deserve value 
products.
