    Hey guys, I'm really looking into buying a Clevo M72R, but I can't find a reseller who lets me customize it with a close to barebones configuration. The only reseller I can find is Eurocom, but they sell the laptop standard with 2gb of RAM and a 120gb hard drive all for around $1325. Does anybody know of any other reseller that has this laptop and that will ship to the states?

    Contact www.rjtech.com.

    They can sell you the barebones, even if they do not show it on their site.

    I called them and they said the only one they could get me is the M72RS, but that one uses a chipset that isn't good enough for my needs. Any other ideas?

    Then contact:
    - Pro-Star
    .... then go back to Eurocom, and bargain with them to get the price down... its easy since that notebook seems to have a lot of margin to work with.

    Pro-star said they don't have it either, and I think it'd be hard to bargain with Eurocom as the laptop they sell comes with a 120gb hard drive and 2gb of RAM. I asked Eurocom if I could get it just barebones from them and they said since they buy the laptops with high specs, they can't take out any of the parts.

    They should be able to budge on the pricing though.....

    I would PM the Eurocom rep here about it: Mr. Eurocom

    I can't seem to find him in the member's list.

    Edit: Seems like he's banned.

    Mr. Eurocom was banned for advertising his own products which is against the forum rules. He was warned about this several times but continued to do so ignoring moderators requests.

    He'll be back in a day or so.

    Hey guys... I'm the former Mr Eurocom. That profile has been banned and hopefully will not return. It was NOT ME using this profile for the last month or so. If you are looking for info about the M720R please let me know and I will answer any questions you might have.

    Hi John.

    Nice of you to join us again.... it is you right ? :D

    You can PM Chaz or Andrew that you have the new Eurocom rep... so that you will get the tagging of Retailer under your name.

    Try not to have anyone else mess with your new account.
