    Why does pcmicroworks offer a WSXGA 1920x1200 for the NP8660 and no one else does?

    Thanks,

    Blade

    If you are going to order from PCMW. Call them up - you will get a much better deal than is on the web site. Say you have been speaking to people with the memorial/president's day sales and they've gotten more than $500 off.

    but seriously you should consider getting from xoticpc or powernotebooks as they are the most reliable and have the best reputation

    Yes those all offer 1920x1200 but there WUXGA Matte not Glossy like PC Microworks offers.

    I will call them Monday, thanks for the heads up.

    It very well could be; one could do worse than following the advice of DRTH_STi.

    PCMW is a Eurocom reseller, and Xotic and PN are Sager resellers. Eurocom and Sager offer slightly different options and configurations (like the glossy screen).
