Michael fucking Dell. Bastard wants to charge me (=my soon-to-be new boss) €1000 extra on my new work laptop just 'cause I want 8 GB of memory, extended warranty, and an SSD. I mean, €250 just to replace a 320 GB hard drive with a 128 GB SSD? really? Upgrade to a quadcore just to be able to get 8 GB memory? really?
Michael Dell, fuck you, quit asking absurd prices for customization.
@my future boss, fuck you too for making me order either a Dell, an HP, or an Apple. The latter's completely out of league, I demand a 17 inch laptop at the very least (anything smaller and I'll go nuts from staring at the tiny screen three feet away from my eyes), yet you bastards only have one (1) 17 inch model, which only starts at the maximum budget I was alotted.
Although that price might be with taxes, companies can buy shit without taxes, hmm... Still, I'd have to learn how to use a Mac. And I fear I'd dislike it. Gasp.
Edit: Never mind: Fuck you too, Apple, charging €350 in advance for service I might not even use. Apple does charge less for an upgrade to an SSD, though. But still, then I'd have to pay extra.
