Well.....
See....
What had happened was i got my X1 with a bad fan.
So it was sent back.
Now newegg has no more X1s in stock, so i am told i will be offered a A1 or i can get my money back.
I spend $850, if i wait a few weeks, should i expect to be able to get something nicer?
Any word on dates and prices of the n81?
EDIT:
OR, should i get my money back and get one of the MSI barebones from OConBudget and pimp that out, coming to a total of $700

bro get your money back and wait for the Asus N81 it will be WAY worth it.
-
and actually, im thinking of getting a barebone MSI from OCon, because it saves me some cash
BUT, if the n81 will be the same price, ill wait it out...
lmk if any one knows an estimated price! -
IMO get the money back. =]
I don't think the n81 will be as cheap at the release.
How can you use it barebone? -
What kind of warranty do you get with OCon?
-

hmm not really finding anything.
Also Zero it will be cheaper im quite sure, ATI GPU's price wise are much better priced then nvidia so unless these new notebooks have some crazy good features i would say it should be the same or less. -

i believe there is an option for both which is cool because it has the new puma 2 and we dont know what its capable of yet.

well if they're offering to trade your x1 for an A1, do take not that if you spent 850 on the x1, ur getting newegg's A1 for 850, and then theres also the 100 $ rebate that newegg has on the A1, so technically its a 750? dunno if any1 caught that, but unless u really need a laptop now, refunding to wait for a better one might be better, this A1 isnt capable of much heaveyweight graphics >.<
-
Does the n80 have mxm?
any word on dates/price of n81? -
I'd say get your money back and look for a better deal laptop or like the other says, wait for the n81
-
I'd say wait for the N81. It should be about the same price, or maybe just a little more.
-
Unless you're in urgent need of a laptop right now, I'd go with what others have suggested and wait for the N81.
-
Yeah get your money back and wait for N81 to come out. Sucks that we won't have the same lappy anymore...
-
-
so does any one know of a price point of the n81, or a date?
because im really tempted to spend $750 and just get a kick a$$ MSI from OCon..... -

What kind of MSI is this?
-
If you want to play the waiting game, there will always be a better notebook down the road. If the specs and word of mouth on the MSI are as good as the N80 though, I'd go for the MSI if you want one now.
-
ill get either a p8600, p8400, or a t9400
4gb 800mhz cl5 ram
320gb 7200rpm drive
nvidia 9600GT (mxm II) -
hail fellow wisconsin member. I personally am waiting for the new MSi. I also did considered the n80 among others, but id rather wait it out get something fresh out. hopefully be satisfied for awhile after that.
-
just a correction, i'm not waiting on any new MSI...
My decisions are:
1.See if Newegg will give me a n80-x5 instead
2. Get the Barebone (msi listed above) from OCon
3. Wait till the n81 comes out.
1. is at discression of newegg
2. is up to me
3. depends on price...
i need to know what order i should put my options in... -

i still think you should wait, but i can actually tell you are excited and dont want to wait haha
If thats where you heart is taking you go for it. -
-
you've already wasted 10 days for x1.
-
i guess, really, i need some one to get a USA price on the n81.... -
Red_Dragon Notebook Nobel Laureate
i think the range should be the same it is now.
If you have a look at Asus notebooks you will see there notebooks either go down in price when the newer model comes out or stay the same so im sure it will be priced well.
Take an n80VN-A1 or get my money back?
