Customer Success Testimonial: Recovery is Everything

Another useless comparison

Why are reviews these days so completely useless?

The Acer is a 15" screen, the HP is a 15", the L450... that's right a 15" screen. Oh it's OK though because it's balanced out by just as useless data for the t110 and 1810TZ as they're both 11" screens. If I'm in the market to buy a 13" laptop (which I am), I don't need data for anything but a 13" screen!

they got it all wrong

a Duc should be ridiculously overpriced, attract either complete poseurs or insane people with balls of steel, and be ultra high maintenance in both time and treasure-but when you ride it both scare the bejeezus out of you and thrill like nothing else. And it should be both red and loud, just like a vocally appreciative supermodel nymphomaniacal girlfriend.

The only thing in common with a modern Duc here is the logo and the tendency to attract poseurs.

How sad do you have to be ...

... to base your laptop purchasing decision on having a motorcycle branding ?

I suppose somebody might choose a ducati laptop to emphasise they are a free spirit, a renegade, born to be wild etc.

But I'd just assume they were a bit of a cokc not even capable of being a sunday afternoon, fairweather middle aged biker.
