People have been trained for years to only look at price. Look at the notebook hunter ads by Microsoft and HP. All they talk about is most features for the smallest amount of money.
There are people who are prepared to pay more for machine with better quality. They tend to buy 1. Apple or 2. Online only for PC makers (as the retail experience is so poor and the models available are almost exclusively cheap machines) .
