| Just for all the people out there its called getting a discount b/c your old man is the manager of CDW. Yes it would have cost more if i bought piece by piece online from regular stores. But when you can walk into a warehouse that supplies corperations with masses of puters (at wholesale price) you can get it it for a lot cheaper. W/o the discount it would have cost me 1300 for it. So yes you are right about the singular price breakdowns. But I didnt break it down that far. Just to the unit value. |

I doubt you have that system, but even if you do you paid the full price and thats that, even with discount you wouldnt of gotten that price. :rolleyes:
And I dont care if your a manager or not. |

school, work, or note taking get a laptop. If you do get a laptop dont buy a HP/Compaq, Gateway, or Sony from my experience they have horrible support. I use to do tech support at my school where students had laptops and all of those companies either had shotty parts or when ever you needed to send in your laptop it would take weeks or even months for them to get the box they needed to ship there laptop. I would recommend Dell, Toshiba, and Fujitsu in that order. Oh and if you do buy a laptop always spring for the extra warranty laptops have a good habit of breaking down, especially the screens. |
.... dood, I worked for HP for 2 years in technical support. We have the best support available. HP's would take 3-5 business days to get fixed, they even get fedex to pick up the notebook and bring it back to you! Screens don't break, stupid people break screens.
Get a clue.
The only reason why technical support would be bad is because the person calling us are stupid to begin with. It's the person who makes the technical support bad, not the techs.

B. ASUS boards are cheap
C. PC3200 DDR 2GB 2048MB 400MHz XMS Memory w/Black Heat Spreader retail is worth $500-$600 alone.
D. THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS A 500GB WD 7200RPM HARDRIVE.

There is no act. When a good deal is found, it should be jumped on. If i can get a discount through my father, why the hell would i not take it? And btw, you didnt buy your skyline. Your father helped you out. (as you have said in the past) |
