The general public can't afford a Ferrari, but they still make them and people buy them. Ben isn't looking to put a portable in every home. He is looking to make a living and make quality products that he can sell to the average person who don't want to worry about it breaking.

Why exactly would you feel the need to ask me, why I feel the need to post this? :o

And I posted, because maybe someone in here would want to buy one, that didn't see this on his blog.

I could buy a Prius instead of a Ferrari. That'll get me more "value." Your point?
Alienware computers (which are ironically overpriced) are mass produced. Ben's things are one of a kind, a limited supply. And they're obviously priced low enough for people to keep him with a job.

The fact that Ben can make a living doing this refutes your argument.

no were are not wrong, one ever said he can't, we all know he does but i think he would have way more buyer's if he lowered them between the 1,000 to 4,000 range and not 3,000 to 10,000 :shock:

more buyers, but lots more work. He doesn't want to constantly make 360 laptops for everyone and make the same profit. He's not hurting, so why would he lower the price and create more work for himself?

He likes doing unique projects that offer him more of a challenge anyway.
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.
