Yeah a company that you have to pay 9 euros to NOT HAVE an engraving of their logo on your $2,000 machine really inspires confidence in their respect for your privacy.

It does for me. In case you missed the Snowden leaks, pretty much every American laptop OEM is in bed with the NSA.

I swear that hipster marketing has ruined HN's ability to evaluate products. Next you people are going to start bitching about the logo not lighting up.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by this? The big revelation of the Snowden leaks was that the NSA was spying on Americans, which it isn’t (wasn’t) supposed to do. What does a laptop vendor have to do with it?
