    We all got that email most likely :).

    Anyways. It seems like AW is trying to price a lot of their new desktops / notebooks cheaper so that they can try to get the people that want the "wow" factor of AW to buy them as well. Personally I'd still build my own desktop since it is pretty much just plugging stuff in.

    Yea with laptops you really don't have much of a choice. Buying a barebones laptop is your best bet but even those aren't that much cheaper vs. buying the complete system.
