Whoops! How did this get missed?! Is 12vHPWR really that bad? Why aren't you mad enough about DDR and SSD pricing?! Nvidia is BUYING ... well it's not HP. All that "Don't track me bro" stuff is for naught, Sony sells you less and you'll buy it, and Linux stops being able to be loaded on just about anything.
