When I bought a Mac laptop, I checked out prices to see how much of a
"luxury/status-symbol tax" I was paying for the lighted apple logo that
is seen by everyone when you lift up the laptop's cover.

Compared against an HP product. Turns out that the HP laptops start off
at very low prices, but when I added all the features that the Apple
laptop had, the HP laptop came out just a little above the Apple product.

Perhaps the Proliant start off with el-cheapo DVD readers to allow for
HP to advertise a lower price, and you need to add an option for a fully
functional DVD read-write unit.
