Did anyone see the ad on TV about the $299 computer?

I WOULD NEVER BUY A NAME BRAND COMPUTER THEY TEND TO HAVE VERY LOW END COMPONENTS THATS THE REASON ALOT OF PEOPLE SAY AS SOON AS YOU BUY ONE IT IS OUTDATED. I PREFER TO BUILD ONE MYSELF I KNOW THAT WHEN PEOPLE ARE NEW TO THE COMPUTER WORLD THEY HAVE NO IDEA AS WHAT TO BUY. I ALWAYS SAY TALK TO YOUR LOCAL (FREIND) COMPUTER GEEK TELL THEM WHAT YOU WANT TO DO WITH THE COMPUTER AND DON'T JUST SAY GO ON THE INTERNET. REALLY THINK IT THROU. I SEE COMPUTER LIKE CARS. A PINTO WILL GET YOU FROM POINT A TO POINT B BUT WHOULD YOU FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. SAME WITHA COMPUTER. IF THE COMPONENTS ARE NOT UP TO SPEED (OUTDATED ALREADY) AND WILL NOT SUIT YOUR TRUE NEEDS THEN WHY BUY ONE BASED ON PRICE. BELEIVE IT OR NOT EVEN THOU I DISLIKE THE GUY GOTO TOTALLY AWESOME COMPUTERS AND LEARN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DELL (PINTO) AND A NICE MACHINE. YOU MAY SPEND 100 BUCKS MORE FOR A COMPUTER YOU CAN USE FOR ALOT LONGER AND BE UPGRADED IN MANY WAYS.
