Buy a New PC for Windows 7

Would Lauren seriously want to use one of these?

Get It Try It

LONDON (Rixstep) -- The Microsoft blitz for Windows 7 in the UK has begun. They're trying to show British punters there are fully adequate and attractive laptops that cost a lot less than Apple's.

Except they don't cost any less at all. They're all in the MacBook/MacBook Pro price class.

But that's not all.

You browse around their microsite, set the configuration requirements for approximately what you get with an Apple laptop, and this is what you end up with.

Never mind the actual deep specs - just look at these monstrosities and ask yourself if you'd want to be caught with one of them.

They're godawful. Sorry, Lauren. It definitely was a mistake.
