Look at how much people are paying for equivalent specification ThinkPads and you'll have your answer.


Those are hardly directly comparable products (as in a commodity product), as a product includes branding, OS, support, etc. You can't just look at hardware specs and think that two consumers would find the products directly comparable.

Sure, you could design a multivariate survey to figure out the willingness to pay and so on, but that's pretty complex, so that's why I'm just asking here for personal opinions.

PS: I'm not claiming that the products are not in the same level, or one is better than the other, just that such a comparison is made on a personal consumer basis and is largely subjective.
