    Hey everybody I just thought I'd plug the great deal that Eddie/Geared2Play/btotech.com is offering on the W3J!

    After months of lurking on this forum, I finally pulled the trigger when this deal came along and I just couldn't resist! I put in the order a few minutes ago so hopefully it will be arriving sometime next week. :) :D :cool:

    My specs are:

    Asus W3J
    Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 (2.0Ghz; 667mhz w/ 4mb Cache)
    14" WXGA (1280 x 768) Color Shine Glaretype LCDl
    2048MB DDR2 667 (1024mb x 2)
    100GB; 5400RPM HDD
    ATI Mobility Radeon x1600 w/ 256MB VRAM (512MB Hyper Memory)
    8x Super Multi DVD Burner
    2 year reseller (btotech) warranty (1yr standard +1yr extended)
    Windows XP Professional (w/ Vista upgrade)

    I was also encouraged by how helpful he has been in responding to PMs, even on New Year's when I was asking about their shipping/availability. I *definitely* encourage others who have been debating between the W3J and A8Js due to the difference in specs, as I had been, to take a close look at this offer before it runs out!

    Happy New Year!!!

    that discount was offered for the base/standard w3j. I can not offer it with the customized version. I will allow the rebate till wednesday for the base which we now have for 1449$ making it 1399$. When i posted the rebate it was for the base which at the time was 1499$ not 1449$. Again i will allow the rebate for the base or standard model only.

    the rebate offer was for the base model which at the time over a week ago was 1499$. it is now 1449. I will honor the rebate for 1399$ even though it clearly allowed for a reduction to 1449$.

    haha sorry dude. If i told everone to wait till we are selling stuf below cost we would go out of business mighty quick. Some vendors make a living of taking preorders for stuff coming out in a month while others are getting rid of stuff thats not being bought becuase others are taking preorders for the next gen of laptops. its all in the biz. I am just tired of taking hatemails from people that bought their w3j a month ago for 300$ over what they are now.
