Just ordered up NP8170 from xoticpc!

Last night I ordered my notebook from MALIBAL and hopefully it will deliver before my 6 month deployment to Saudi Arabia. I am excited to be joining the "elite hardcore notebook" owners crowd and have already purchased a slew of PC games (see bottom) that I will be taking with me. I need something to do as I don't think I will be doing anything but sleeping, working, eating, working-out, and playing video games.

Edit: Originally ordered from XOTICPC.com but they were too busy to get the order straight.

• 8,192MB DDR3 1333MHz
• 500GB 7200RPM

Congratulations!

First of all, yes, XoticPC will pricematch, just call them up (they have a military discount as well, assuming that's what you mean by deployment). Also, if you talk to XoticPC, they can try to find a way to rush it to you so that you know it'll make it in time.

 

Ok, so XoticPC.com was able to pricematch pro-star.com but not able to offer me the bluray player. I seem to not be high on their priorities as emails are taking 2-3 hours per reply. Kinda frustrating as I have money in hand but I can't get an updated price quote to put the money towards.

Update: 20 mins later. Got a hold of a sales guy and he is trying to get the bluray player thrown in for free. So that's good. At least I can get a hold of them via phone.

 

Call them, they answer very quickly. Or, their live chat feature is very good (they have to respond to people actively conversing with them first).

 

Hi, whenever you price match - you have to look closely at all the parts. For instance, some companies offer a 4X Blu-Ray drive, while others only offer a 6X - so the company selling only the 6X might not be able to price match the price of the 4X Blu-ray drive... since the 4X cost significantly less than the 6X. With that said, we can price match the 4X.

 

lol darn i should have thought of that. would it still be possible to change my order?

 

Looks like Xoticpc.com dropped the ball and MALIBAL picked it up to run for the touchdown. Cancelling order with xoticpc.com now. Why? Customer Attention.

 

Hey, glad we could help out! Also, aduy PM us and we'll work out something for you.

 

How do you get a blue ray thrown in for free? Is it a military discount?

to: Malibal: I haven't call you today as of yet cause I'm so busy with school, hopefully I'll be able to call you later today if you don't close by the time I am free.

I still have a stringful (spell wrong) of questions to ask considering this is my most expensive purchase to date so I hope to be able to talk to you soon.

and OP, you are more hardcore than me, 580m ftw.
