7 PC note they do not say laptop, which suggests that makers like HP and
Dell are trying to boost their waning, post-PC sales.
Obviously this is a great deal for students but it definitely points to a
bit of a fire sale when it comes to the smaller, less memory-studded Xboxen
along with the PCs that are currently mouldering on shelves to the relative
success of tablets:

. While I believe that the belief that tablets are eating into PC sales is
correlation without causation, I do think that the race to the bottom in PC
prices and netbook sales has negatively effected PC makers who are now
facing a customer of their own making who expects more for considerably
less. As a result, sales and profits are down catastrophically.
