Lame Excuse

This has gotta rank among the best for a lame excuse for high prices:

Important Note on Laptop or Notebook Computers: - Laptop computers that require the lower case to be disassembled are subject to a $7495 minimum charge even if no repairs are performed. A laptop's lower case is only opened for hardware repairs. Some laptop or notebook repairs that require the lower case to be opened can take up to 3 hours. Why you ask? Fortunately for the consumer, computers get smaller every day. Unfortunately for repair shops, performing a common task such as replacing the motherboard can easily take 7 times that of a desktop system in labor time. Much time working on a laptop is spent under a magnifying glass or twisting a screwdriver on an endless numbers of screws. This fact is something that you may want to consider when buying your next computer. Do you really need a laptop or will a desktop system really do? Desktop systems are more affordable to repair. The labor investment is significantly less. Replacement parts are more common and affordable. Unfortunately you just can't carry desktop machines around.

I've taken apart laptops. It certainly does not take me 3 hours to open it up because if it did, I would have given up much sooner!!!
