RE: I got my laptop but...
In my experience, if the specs are really good for the price, it means they're skimping on the other parts.
Computer shops like PC World do this all the time, they have laptops with amazing features like a huge hard drive, a massive screen, a fast processor and loads of RAM. For a really low price.
But the only reason they can get it so cheap is because they know that most of the people who buy laptops from them aren't going to do much research, and they aren't going to notice that everything else is crap.
The RAM will be slow, the build quality will be really poor, the screen will have bad specs (contrast ratio, colour depth etc..), and all the parts will be really bad, like the wireless adapter.
But because people like to be able to easily "score" things for comparison, they ignore this stuff.
Cameras are probably the best example, after about 3 megapixels, for most people, any difference will be lost, yet people by cameras soley based on how many megapixels they have.
