    So I ordered a whitebook from xoticpc and just got an email from them saying the X9100 is late in arriving and the have no ETA for it. They offered to let me upgrade to the Q9100 at no extra cost. I was just wondering what you guys would suggest.

    I appreciate any help.

    Thanx

    EDIT:

    Also, should I just cancel my order and maybe go some other place?

    Depends what your intentions with the laptop are, Gaming or multiple applications? The x9100 still beats the q9100 in gaming, so if that's your forte, wait for it.


    Or get it and sell it on eBay, then buy the x9100

    My main intentions are for gaming. I just priced one out on RK Computers and the price is about the same, maybe a little cheaper than what I paid for the one at xotic, and I also would get quicker shipping too.

    Thanx guys for the quick responses though. I messed with the shipping a little more and can get next day air and it will only cost me 10 bucks more total than the total price from xoticpc where I only had 3 day shipping.

    Just sent em a reply asking if I could still cancel my order.

    Thanx again for the quick help.


    EDIT:

    I would appreciate it if this thread would remain open if for some reason xoticpc wont let me cancel my order.
