    Its a mistake as usual pretty much the never existed Newegg G50VT-X5 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220479 They never had it, never sold one either.

    Btw BHPhoto is a VERY highly reputable jewish business and wasnt scamming anyone, it was a mistake as far as I know. I believe the same site that sells refurb real X5's has an out of stock mistake page or this same thing.

    No clue what you will get, I have a feeling just a notice they dont have it lol. On a bad site it might just sit on order forever because its dead.

    It never existed, G50VT-X8TW from newegg is 999.99 is basically an X5 with a P8600 and bluetooth the X3/6 A1/A2/B1 colors and the 2 year warranty. It does lack the screen res of this mistake X5 though though.
