    Here's a little promotion for a fella I've disagreed with. http://www.killernotebooks.com Has anyone used this site , ordered from, owned their laptop, experienced service issues and gotten quality service etc that might justify prices that hover over places like. http://www.powernotebooks.com I see killer notebooks toot it's horn over at TomsHardware constantly and shot a response after i priced his Compal HGL30 which they trademark as a "kodachi" (everything is a blade..grow up) against Power notebooks Crown 8:14 also a Compal HGL30. There's nearly a 300 dollar difference with WinXp included in both and one year warranties. The only difference in the systems, is you'll have to wait till october for the T7200 at Pnotebooks. Is that justified?.. Lets find out. :cool: here's what he had to say

    Yea, when you go to their site the first thing I noticed was the title of their home page: "Cheap Notebooks -" I should stop here.
    1. They don't carry the Kodachi, that is my brand, that's first of all. So right there saying they carry the "Kodachi" is lible.
    2. I don't know how you could have configured anything on their site to match anything on my site, since they don't even offer a T7xxx series of C2D's... they offer bottom of the line T5xxx series, which I don't even carry. They MAX OUT at 1.83, and I don't even offer that as a downgrade.
    3. They are known as "PowerWeasels" by my first tier distributor. All high end system builders that I deal with consider that a fair description.
    4. You might want to give their tech support a call first with an issue, then tell them you want them to pay for the warranty return back and you want the system fixed and back in your hands within a week. See what they say.
    5. EVERY one of my systems comes AS5, a $50 upgrade on theirs! WOW!
