The arrogant teenage "hacker" kind of person. AMD in recent years has been the budget choice, never quite as cutting edge as Intel. These people are going to see that the computers avaiable prebuilt are coming with AMD components which in their minds aren't as good as "premium" brands like Intel and Nvidia.

I wonder if it'll have any effect.

Lol, I can really imagine that.


Also, I absolutely hate how these advertisements here label their computers.  I mean it's like completely deceiving to someone without much technical knowledge.

1. All CPU power is labeled on clock speed.  So both an Atom and a Core i7 can have exactly the same 1.6GHz in massive font next to it.  According to a normal person, they would look the same.

2. The label GPUs based on RAM.  Generally, you just see something like "1GB NVidia discrete GPU", half the time it doesn't even tell me what goddamn model.

What's worse, "2GB Intel HD graphics" would sound completely superior to pretty much absolutely everything else in the eyes of an average person.  2GB (more than any discrete GPU), and "HD"... But guess what it actually is, that shitty Intel integrated found on netbooks.  And it doesn't have 2GB of RAM, it odesn't have any RAM, that's just the system RAM, derp derp derp.  .
