Two weeks ago I managed to spill coffee all over my laptop. The nice people at Dell sent me a refurbished computer (well it was under warranty so they had to). They sent me a refurbished laptop which I can understand but the excuse was great. On a sticker on the back of the laptop it says that they are sending me a refurbished one to help the environment. Uh huh. Any excuse to save a buck. I prefer they be honest.
I was on Dell’s web site and they now have a new marketing pitch. You can buy a tree to offset the emitions that are created by you using your new electronic device. I wonder how they calculate it.
Do you think it’s right to proffit this way ? Do you think Dell is being honest or just looking for another way to make a quick dollar ?
