This “warning” appears on a Geek Squad sales info folder. Over the past year, a number of you have been telling us that, due to “pre-optimization” of computers, it’s difficult — sometimes impossible — to walk into a Best Buy and leave with the advertised deal (in effect, you would be paying a $39.99 surcharge over the computer’s advertised price). We decided to look into your complaints. We sent the Consumer Reports secret shoppers to 18 different Best Buys in 11 states, and one of our shoppers was denied the price advertised for a specific model because only pre-optimized computers were available. When the Consumer Reports engineers compared three “optimized” computers to ones with default factory settings, there was no performance improvement. In one case, an optimized laptop actually performed 32% worse than the factory model.
Clearly choosing the path of minimum compromise, the US Federal Trade Commission this morning voted to press antitrust charges against Intel, in an action that now parallels The EC’s charges: Did Intel really threaten Dell if it shifted toward AMD?” that of the European Commission, as well as ”New York: Intel’s agreements to lower CPU prices led to overcharges” the state of New York.
I am soo glad I saved money and bought AMD. And also help them stay in business. Why can’t we all play fair?
Anyone else ready to remove their facebook page?
