M-152XL vs P-6068fx vs P-172s fx

What do you guys think? I dont think i will particularly ever need the 8800 but ya, was wondering what u guys recommend.

M-152XL 949.99
P-6068fx 1249.99 (i think right now)
F-172x fx 1299.99 (i hear u can get 200 bucks off if you talk to sales rep so maybe 1099.99?)

 

firstly, cross out the M-152XL from your list lol

 

why? i would prefer a 15 inch over a 17 inch, and its cheaper. as i said i dont think i will ever need the 8800 but its a consideration; the 152XL has a 8300 so i wouldnt have to upgrade either, just the ram a couple of years down the road if i need to

 

for $949.99, there are some better choices, ie thinkpad t61

 

i configured one to 1031.475 after the total 15% off extra discount (5% student + 10% coupon) and the only difference i see between the 152XL and the T61 i configured is the 152XL has a Radeon 2600 HD 512 card while the T61 has a Quadro 140M 128 card. And the lenovo "Ships between 2-3 weeks" =(

 

the 1299 version of the 172fx comes with the 5750

it is already 100 off so try to get 100 more off

I think the best buy version is the best it has a better hard drive. when you wait for it to go on sale it will be exactly the same price.

 

stamar what is "5750"?

 

intel 5750

not intel 8300

not the new cpu

 

i dont think so you already have 100$ of , i think you will get only 100 extra off and 75$ of it you use this coupon code 'AFF08Q2'
in total it will be 1399-100-100-75= 1124$
yours will be 1399-100-200-75=1024$
is you manage to buy it with 1024$ tell me cause i looking to buy this week a 17s fx

 

they wont stack the 75 dollar off coupon with the extra discount the sales rep give you...iv tried.

 

so what's the price you ware available to get

 

I dont know about the 172xfx or the 6860fx because i never tried to order then. But i got 950 for the M-152XL.

 

The GW rep WILL stack the $75 coupon on top of other discounts. You just need to negotiate. It works!

 

have you done it then? what discount did you get and on what machine? i was refused when i asked, was told that the hundred im getting off is the max.

 

I bought my P171x fx for $1,800.00 from gateway with a three year warrenty, but I know they will not do that any more.

 

Wrong! My friend got one for $1550 without 3 year warranty. He had the same configuration as you too. But then again, he's a smooth talker.

 

when did he get his?

 

so 1550 + 3 year full coverage = ~1800?

anyway, when did he buy?

 

When was that? I ordered a P172X FX last week, got it for 1999.98 shipped with the 3 year warranty + accidental damage warranty.
