The Ten Worst Products of the Year
WaZiX writes "Not sure what you want to buy for christmas? Well me neither, but PCMag has an interesting article on what they consider to be the 10 worst products of the year, so at least you know what not to buy. Helpful article that picked out products from different categories such as PDA's, Notebooks and MP3 players."
I'd also point out you can get an 80 GB drive with the emac if you wish, and a DVD burner is also available, their review of the eMac makes it seem that these options aren't available.
It is a bit odd. I just looked at Dell prices (of course I might have missed systems, do correct me if I'm wrong). Dells are 40GB drives until you get to $899 systems. Nor do they contain DVD burners( or even CD burners) until you hit above the eMac price. Nor do they have even ATI or nvidia graphics, but onboard intel stuff. Doesn't look much different to me.
"Don't buy an eMac cos it sucks at X, Y and Z. Buy a dell instead, they also suck at X, Y and Z"
Given that one of their "Best Fall Software Downloads" was riddled with spyware (as I found out the hard way!), I'm all for this. Any major magazine recommending vendors of malware will never get my attention again.
So where is this "provide more value" you are talking about?
It's called OS X.
