Computers getting outdated too quickly

So, at the beginning of my senior year in high school a couple years back, I bought myself a decent HP laptop, nothing too intense but still good for the year - 1 gig ram, 80 gig hard drive, 2.0 ghz processor. At the time, I payed $1200 with a 3 year unconditional warranty.
Well, I was just surfing dells website and realized that now you can get a 15.4" laptop with 1 gig ram, 80 gig HD, intel core duo processor for $700, and these are the base specs. Pretty crazy how quickly technology moves, and how computers become outdated in only a year or two.

But ski stuff doesn't really get better. Computers get WAY better year to year.

My 16 year old 12000$ computer is now worth 1$ at a garage sale.
My 9 year old 7000$ computer is now worth 40$.
I feel your pain.

the computer industry does this stuff on purpose to make money, they were capable of making the comps being released now 5 yrs ago but they make them better in small incriments so they can sell more.

Macs don't get outdated b/c they don't get much updated
