Those that have read some of my threads will know that I'm on the eternal hunt for a 15.4" WSXGA+/WUXGA Dothan with a MR9700. But if I were to drop the WSXGA+/WUXGA requirement. There are quite a few notebook that would fit the bill. The problem is that after looking at most of the ones at Hypersonic, GamePC, ABS, etc. It seems that they are all overpriced!
The reason is there was one other notebook I was looking at. An Acer Aspire 2025. A search on the web show that I can have one for $2141 shipped. Comes with 1.8 Dothan, 80GB, 512MB, 4X DVD +/- RW, XP Pro and all the other standard stuff. On top of that, I can get another 2 year of Warranty from Acer for $124 or $280 for total protection.
All these while an ABS Mayhem G2 with the same spec will cost $2209. It gets worst with Hypersonic CX-6 at $2376 and GamePC GPN-CEN3 at $2472. all with just the one year warranty and you still have to add tax and shipping. Other than allowing you to customise, what does these 3rd party vendor offer that Acer doesn't?
