What I mean with my previous post is nicely shown through this:

Yesterday I was looking at a new laptop from the biggest BTO OEM in Greece.

Specs: AMD TURION MT-37 2,0AGhz 1Mb / 2 x 512Mb RAM SO-DIMM DDR PC3200 / TOSHIBA HDD 100 GB 5.400 RPM / 19'' Wide Glare Type Screen 1680x1050 / Dual nVidia GO 7800 GTX / 2 x 256 GDDR III / DVD±RW Double layer / AZALIA 5.1 DIGITAL AC3 / Virtual surround 2.1 speakers / IEEE 1394, Lan, IrDA, Modem 56k / TV-out x 1, Microphone x 1, S-video x 1, USB x 4, PCMCIA x 1, Headphones x 1, Card Reader 5 in 1, Camera / Li-Ion 8 cell, 2 hrs autonomy / 3.10 kgr
Price: 2,799 euros (incl. VAT and Windows XP Home)

As soon as I saw AMD+nVidia I said "forget 'bout it"... Plus to me it had "gamer" written all over it and I simply turned my back. Is this reasonable? Of course not. Still, it's what's happening with all users...
