So, I just randomly thought of an idea that seems pretty good in my head. I don't really have any first hand experience with this, though, so I thought I'd post it to see what everyone thinks.
Basically, I was whining to my roommate about how whenever you buy a new laptop, it's bittersweet, because another one comes out a month later that's better.
Now, being the fastlane graduate that I am, I began to think. Here's what I came up with in about 10 seconds, so it's pretty rough. It would probably only be a windows/pc based business, because new mac computers come out every six months - year, so it's not AS bad.
Basically, it would be a computer retail/online store. You pay an upfront cost that's either what you'd usually pay for a new laptop, or a slightly reduced price. Then, you pay a specific subscription fee each month. Whenever there's a new part you could get for your computer, you're notified about it, and you can request it sent to your home. When I was talking to RealOG at B&P, he was talking about how low the production cost is for most parts in a computer. With a moderately high subscription fee, you should easily be able to make a profit.
Not sure how realistic this is, because I'm mainly a mac guy. But every PC fanatic out there always tells me how easy it is to change parts, and if you can get the best parts each month in your subscription, you would be saving money as well, because it would be like getting a new PC every month. There are still some large details that need to be worked out, but I think it's a decent idea right now...
What do you guys think?
