Only Newegg?

Is newegg the only place you can get this laptop p7801u? I want the good screen.

 

Not even - looks like (a) the price has increased to $1399 and (b) they're currently out of stock.

Screw that... There is no way I am paying that after everyone else got it for 1199. Their prices are way to random.

Where else should I look? I am going to buy once my tax return comes in. Should a few weeks from now.

 

Well, it appears as if they're still slapping the 1920 screens into the 7805 models. Another member posted that he got two with the 1920 screen - both had the same batch number and it was *way* up there (highest I've seen reported).

Start hitting BB stores in your area and use the serial number trick mentioned in a few other threads (LXW430XO138xxxxxx is the 1920 unit) is about all I can suggest.

 

I know a guy that paid $1050 tax free for a 7805u with a 1900x1200, so basically the exact same thing I sent NewEgg $1199 for....some people paid $950 around xmas time....oh well

 

Well as you don't have your money yet, you have time for:

1. Newegg to reduce the price again

2. Find a 7805U with a 1920 screen at best buy.

3. Gateway to release a newer better model

4. You die and it doesn't matter any more

 

Seems like alot of effort when you can just order the 7801

 

I'll try not to die first

 

When is the next Holiday type sale coming up?

 

It was never on sale for anything under $1049.99

 

I can preorder the 7807 for the same price as the 7801 now. Any idea when it would come in?

 

Well, right now, for the exact same $1399, with the 7807u you'd get the faster P8600 rather than the P8400.

It would seem like a no-brainer when the price is identical, but it would help to know when the 7807u's will be released.

 

It would be a no-brainer except for the fact that the OP expressed an interest in the WUXGA screen and it looks like the 7807 is spec'd with a 1440.

 

Ah, I'm getting my 5u's w/wo 1920's and my 1u's all confusalated!

Guess it's a "brainer", then!

 

More like a brain-buster!

7801/7805: Totally identical machines *provided* the (BB-only) 7805 just happens to have a WUXGA screen. Different prices, regardless - currently $1149 for the 7805 from BB and currently $1399 from Newegg but anywhere from $1199 - $1599, depending upon the time of day.

7807: Same as the 7801 except with a P8600 processor and 1440 screen - exactly the same as the 7805 except with a P8600 processor *unless* the 7805 just happens to have a WUXGA screen. $1399 pre-order (who knows when it will be released).

7808: Same as the 7807 except with a Q9000 processor, Bluetooth, and a 500GB HDD (but 5400 RPM). $1799 pre-order price (see 7807 for release date).

Geez!

 

Well...now the 7801 is no longer available...so I am looking at doing some hunting at Best Buy locations throughout Houston. Anyone have any luck finding the WUXGA in town anywhere? If I cant find one I guess I'll wait and see what the 7807 ends up with screen wise. If I cant get what I want from gateway I guess I will have to step to a custom built system from Clevo or ugh (the M17) etc.

 

People post your locations . . . . . ..


You're in Houston . . . .

Best buy across from Bay Brook mall has a 7805u with 1920x1200 screen. I know because I returned it there. Nothing wrong with it, I just do not like the 1920 screen, went with a 1440 instead.

Bust buy I-45 and Bayarea bvld. Clearlake area

Get going

 

i'd love to but I am on the road for the next few days.
