As you stated a few hundred below the rest of the pack, personally I think some research into how they are saving the money would be wise
I know a good chunk of the savings is coming from the ability to opt for no OS installed...hardly any of the other outfits offer that option. I'll do some more checking including talking with them soon.

Oh yeah, in the original configuration I selected the 670 graphics...an upgrade over the 470M in the Toshiba atm for sure. This one will not be a gamer and I selected the 3610 cpu over the 3630 to save a bit...didnt see an extra $115 worth in the other cpu for my purposes.

I think it will make a difference overall and will add to the value if/when I should decide to upgrade again and sell it.

Sort of like putting a 327 in a Vega.....................

HD4000 would offer at least pretend to have some kind of a battery life as well ...........

WD - This is a replacement for the Toshiba and will serve the same duties as before. It is a desktop replacement laptop which stays plugged in and is never moved around or transported. The Qosmio has a 18.3" screen and is not something one throws in a backpack and heads to class with lol. If battery life were high on the list I would just use the Acer netbook I have already. You consider the MSI platform a Vega??? http://www.nvidia.com/object/optimus_technology.html

And just what do you find odd about a 327 in a Vega?

No the MSI platform I am sure is as good as any other, just when you mentioned resale value my buddies Vega came to mind for one reson or another, but meant the resale value reguardless of the motor AKA GPU is shit on laptops and Vegas alike ...............


And when you said you were not gaming on it the only thing that even makes sense would be if you do 3D modeling or plan to fold on it


I am not altogether sure that this makes any sense, just trying to hit you with a hammer as asked .......

Totally off topic but you reminded me that I 327'ed a Chevette in my wayward youth days. Thanks for the flashback.
