    I've been looking pretty extensively the last month or so for a laptop. This site has been an amazing resource in helping me understand notebooks better.. and I've only owned/used desktop PC's so there was a lot to learn.

    I think I've narrowed my choice down to the z70va, and I have been looking at resellers trying to decide who would be the best fit for me.

    I'm a little confused by the chemUSA books that discountlaptops offer.
    Is there any major difference between this z70va and one that I could get from geared2play or ProPortable?

    Thanks in advance for any info.
    (and I'm sorry if this is a dumb question)

    hah i just made a similar thread, but i live in canada and am looking for a Z70va.. :D
    the only differences that i could notice, from their websites, would be brands of hardware installed into their Z70va models.
    but im sure that they will come in and tell you. :p

    Chem usa provides their own warranty and mainly functions as a distributor to other resellers. Dealer sites have the option of offering chem usa, their own 100% cover, partial cover or none at all warranty. We offer our own so does proportable....

    ChemUSA is I'm sure a fine company, but you're just not getting served by those who are selling to you.... chem is building and warranting the product. Take that as you will.
