new laptops from Puget Systems

Hi,

I was looking on Puget's site earlier and noticed they've updated their laptop line.

Are these a rebrand or are they something they manufactured? I'm interested in a couple and I'd like to find the cheapest price if possible.

Thanks

 

The Puget "m705i" and the "d705i" are the most wickedly over-priced OCZ Whitebook and Clevo D901c re-branded notebooks I've seen anywhere.

 

NGH -

Are you asserting that our price is too high, or that the cost of the OCZ and Clevo units are too high? We base our pricing on our costs alone, so I would understand if you meant the latter.

wow agreed wayyyyy to high

 

omg. 1300 for a QX9300? Thats higher than the price you buy them for!

 

Talk about overpriced!

hmmmm....

 

Your prices for the OCZ and CLEVO re-branded notebooks are not marketplace competitive in comparison to what other vendors or system builders offer.

 

So what is the cheaper equivalent of the M505i?

 

RJTECH, Xotic PC and Sager have great deals on Clevo, Compal, Arima, ASUS or MSI systems.
Pugeot makes awesome desktops, and all you see on the 3d mark page is their custom rigs dominating the competition. Congrats to you guys, you make excellent products, and from reseller ratings and peoples reviews, your services are top notch.

For the cheapest Clevo system built by Sager, go with www.XoticPC.com

However, for the very best, bleeding-edge performance gaming notebook with killer customizations at a very reasonable price, check out www.killernotebooks.com

My personal choice for a notebook that combines power with portability is Killernotebook's Nagamaki:

This notebook is based on the Flextronics/Arima W840-DI chassis with OCZ as the North American distributor calling it the OCZ Whitebook.

For a list of Clevo resellers and builders for price comparison, Gophn's Clevo Guide may help.

That's rather one-sided. For all the information in that, well, post as well as rebuttals and discussion, view: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=295495

 

yes, that link was one-sided. it has been changed in the post.

 

I really like the Namagaki or the Force Extreme 840 from ExoticPC. But from what I've been able to tell, the battery life is only one and a half to two hours. Is it possible to get more than one extra battery?
