Why there is always somebody say bad things about economic solutions.

For example, if I want to buy a lap-top computer, the suggestion will always go to IBM, HP or Sony. When I mentioned that I would like to try something cheaper, there will always be negative opinions. "It must have some reasons for such a high price." "It worth very penny you spend on it." And something like that.

But it is undeniable that cheap machines also work well usually. And of course no company will guarantee that expensive ones won't break down some day.

So I decided to take my chance buying a cheap lap-top.

First I focus on Hasee, a well known cheap brand in China. It earned a reputation of "Price Killer" for its competitive price strategy. But when I got the mall, I was told I can't get one right away and I have to make an order and a deposit before I got one in one day. Although I do not have prejudices on this brand, I just can't make an order without seeing and touching a real one under the depressing reputation. So I went to my second option -- Lenovo.

Despite its recent taking over IBM's pc department, Lenovo is still a national brand in my opinion. And it gives some choices in a relatively low price. Finally, after comparing and analysing, I decided on Sunrise 410L. Public offer in RMB 4999. The dealer can make it RMB 4900 with some give-aways, including a bag and a Logitech mouse.

I took the only one in the stall.

So far it works well and I'm pretty satisfied with it.
