Prices are still no where near the bang for buck as desktop hardware but hopefully things will change in the future...
I dont see why we have to pay a premium for laptop upgrades because theres a demand for products just like the desktop market. for example....Intel C2D's if only a small handful of people we buying these i doubt that Intel would lower the price so far but since they are in demand, intel can order a tonn of them made thus making production cheaper as they are mass producing & 'mobility' parts might take more effort to make as they have to shrink everything down but they are still mass producing them for the masses. masses being OEM vendors & the odd members of the public who walks/browse into their local store/online store & find out that they stock CPUs/HDDs/RAM etc for their current laptop.
we as the consumers are paying more then it would cost us buying 'enthusiast' products.
but then as some might say - we are paying for the privalidge......
