    Thats about the price for one of those models. Doing a little reseller shopping around might land you with a slightly smaller price, but nothing significant. I'd vote for that if you want the most power you can find.

    Calling the place where you want to order from will get you the lowest prices. Make sure you check the Clevo FAQ that is stickied at the top of this forum to see the various places where you can order from.

    $2,400 is a good price for that system; a Sager NP760 goes for over $2,600 with the same configuration.

    Anyway if someone will do that cant offer you the customer service wich Brian gives.
