If you want to see a real economic divide - check out the prices (and hardware) available at your local Rent-a-Center. Chances are the people renting laptops at those kind of prices are the people least able to afford it.

I think the observation that sparked that conversation was in seeing that the economic exploitation of Rent-a-Center had expanded to Best Buy.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
