    Hey guys, I've been a long time lurker, first time poster.
    I am about to by the Lotus P150HM from Malibal. I do have a couple questions though before I hit the checkout button.

    1) Malibal has this RAM Discount promotion and I have the coupon code, but I have no idea where to enter the coupon code. Do I just put it in the comments section?

    2) While talking with the sales dept at Malibal yesterday (to get my coupon code) I asked if I could get my laptop without the logo on the front. The rep I was talking to said that they will not have a logo on the front. However, on some of the threads in the owners lounge the P150HM does have the logo on the front. Should I specify in the comments section that I do not want the logo?

    3) I think two days ago I saw the 6970 for just a $60 dollar upgrade. Is there a chance theyll bring that back?

    4) Also, here is my quote. My budget is $1500 dollars. Are there any worthwhile upgrades?

    I'm sorry, this probably isn't thread worthy, but Malibal live chat is offline and I couldnt find the answers on Google. Thanks.

    1) Further into the checkout process it will ask for the coupon codes. It should also instruct you to separate coupons codes with commas.

    The laptop does usually come with a logo, but it can be ordered without one. I'd specify in the comments sections, and maybe call the rep once your order is placed to make sure that it's there.

    Probably not. The 6970 is an old card and that sale was just to clear stock, I think. You could buy it elsewhere and swap it after purchase if you want, though.

    These are the only ones I can think of:

    • If you don't use bluetooth, you can upgrade to the intel 6300 which has an extra antenna for better range and speed, but ditches bluetooth support to do it.
    • Blu-ray videos look excellent on the 1080p screen. I'd reccomend upgrading to the Blu-ray player.
    • The 500GB hybrid drive can give additional speed loading programs and booting.

    As others have said - there is a coupon box on checkout, that you can put the RAM Promotion code in. Also, there is no need to specify that you don't want our logo on the lcd bezel - there will not be one there. Lastly, the 6970M deal only lasted around two days and is no longer available.

    I meant I don't want it on the front of the laptop: the part that you can see when you close the lid of the laptop.
    Sorry for the confusion.

    Hi, if you don't want any MALIBAL nameplates on your laptop, then you can request that in the comment box on checkout and we will leave them all off. :)

    If you aren't going to upgrade to at least the ati 6990m, which is totally worth it with the price drop, then you might as well stick with the P151HM1 with the lower base price and pretty much same options besides the video card upgrades.
