    I'm looking for a laptop for college, and I think I just found the perfect one with iBuyPower. The thing is, I haven't heard anything about them. How are they?

    I'll second Vedya. I ordered from xoticpc and I have nothing but good to say about them. They're awesome. Especially Justin. :cool:

    Yeah, both Powernotebooks.com and XoticPC.com have a better resellerrating(Overall Customer Satisfaction Rating) then IBuyPower(PNB and XP also have reps on this forum that are active members).

    Also, the notebook you are looking at is a rebranded Compal JFL92(Sager NP2092) that is sold by both Powernotebooks and xoticPC.com(other sellers of the notebook can be found in the Compal and Sager/Clevo forum.

    Well, I ordered my MSI laptop from Cyberpower, which is a sister company to iBuypower, and I didn't have any problems. The only thing I would have to say about them is that their customer service sucks, but I didn't care since I know a lot about PCs and stuff that most things I could fix myself. It was really cheap too, but still, the choice is up to you...

    I've just recently purchased this laptop from costco also. Shipped to my front door in 2 days, very good laptop imo, and the 2 year tech support/warranty is another plus.
