Re: What do you get for your $50? Message #4 Posted by Ron Ross on 6 Dec 2000, 8:16 a.m., in response to message #3 by Jim Goet
The 48 G + is cheap. What the extra $50 is for is the extra research, support and memory the 48 GX had to offer over the original 48G. After many years and a big price drop in RAM, HP decided to expand memory of the 48G and call it the G+ and offer it at the price of a 48G. HP has not reduced the 48GX as much(it used to sell for $220+ something and the 48SX listed at over $300). That is why the $50 difference. That extra port means having to supply extra support to other development teams and companies that may try to make additional hardware.
Extra features may only cost a few dollars more to install but may lead to additional costs of operation and support.
