I think that is the goal and really what the guy should have focused on. How
can you complain about a $200 computer if it works and gets you online and
lets you write a letter? If it can do that then it's certainly a bargain.
How can you complain about low end components at a bottom end price? Your
average PCWorld reader is probably a hair more tech savvy than the average
wal-mart shopper and probably uses a $1000 computer to do what a $200 can.
That doesn't mean your average wal-mart shopper wouldn't be happy with a
$200 computer.
