Well my plans have changed slightly. After calling around I've discovered that most merchants only have refurb'd 8104s remaining, which isn't an option for me.
So after talking to one store, they informed me that they recently received several even "newer" 4202's from the factory, which were apparently loaded up with extra memory equaling 1.5 GBs. So this combined with the Core Duo makes for a pretty stout machine, seemingly well beyond the 8104s.
The price tag is $1,550 (roughly the same as an 8104), and they agreed to include a blue-tooth adapter & of course the standard "free case" and $150 off the extended warranty.
The normal price on the 4202s is about $1K, so the cost for the memory increase from 1 GB to 1.5 GB is about $600. Is this worth it, or would I still be better off with a new 8104 for the same price?? Are there any big drawbacks with the 4202's that anyone is aware of??
Thanks again!!
