    I think the reason why the 6130hs is not expensive is because it's not a big name like dell or hp. The ABS Mayhem G3 used the same laptop as the 6130hs except you are paying nearly 2000 for the the abs and 1200 for the 6130hs. This is my opinion on this matter.
    Here's a site where you can see a pic of the abs mayhem g3.

    Of course you're right. Averatec doesn't blow massive budgets to make us feel good about buying their machines.

    Brian,
    it's like buying a Hyandai Accent, you never really see any commercials about them but you see alot for Toyota and honda(i'm not saying they are bad because they are the most reliable vehicles on the planet). I own a 2002 Accent and it's been reliable ever since I bought it 2002. I guess you can say that was my analogy.
