most expensive RE-Sold Plain Clevo :D

i was looking for clevo's and I found these guys.

they aren't fancy dancy like paint and graphics.. just plain o'le clevo. with not even hardcore base items..

http://www.pugetsystems.com/certified_sys.php?sys_id=83

and they start at over 4k.



the price compared to the clevo i got from eurocom is $4,463.97

compared to the 3100 i paid.

lol,

these guys have the list price with a line through it like they are giving you a huge deal

http://www.malibal.com/products/laptops/configuration/series9.shtml

they say the list price is $9,999.00

 

Yeah, the second one is probably some sort of weird Clevo reseller. The first one is an Australian reseller if I'm not mistaken and still a weird one .

 

lol the second one HAS to be the most expensive! I actually found them before this thread... and guess from where.. a link from nVidia.com

Oh and the site has this on it..

Why MALIBAL..

 

If the first one is Australian, then you need to make sure you're getting the quote in US dollars instead of Australian dollars. The exchange rate isn't that big right now, but one US dollar is worth approximately 1.07 AUS dollar (which would probably be a little higher on the retail exchanges, say ballpark of about AUS$1.1 to each US$1).

If the price of $4,463.97 was in fact stated in AUS dollars, that would be the equivalent of about $4,058 to $4,182 US dollars (with a spread on the exchange rate of 1.1 to 1.067... respectively).

Malibal, from what I can gather, is just another super-boutique like Voodoopc or Hypersonic-pc, although Malibal's cutesy little games with pricing (like drawing lines through obviously inflated prices, as you've indicated) seems a little cheezy - Voodoopc is just (in my humble little 1.5-cent opinion) rather smarmy, like with their naming and advertising (oooh, "Envy F:121" with a pic showing some ersatz samurai bowing before the system ).

 

Wait guys...the first one comes with nVidia Intel 8800M SLI 2x 512 MB stock and that's not changeable.

Also Vista is standard, but still, the price seems a little high considering all the other hardware sucks.

 

I still am in awe that people buy from these kind of companies without researching and ultimately figuring out they are getting ripped off!

 

That's why everyone in the world involved with laptops should join NBR forums!

 

no doubt, the funny thing is those companies aren't even like voodoo with their hoodoo paintjoby's and other stuff.

 

lol

see this

, instead of spending an extra 3K for a paint job which Xotic could brobably do for an extra 400, use that money for semthing else, or give it to charity or something

 

Sorta like perfume - heavy on the "emotional" "you're joining the family" stuff (or was that the mob? ), and short on the rational cost/benefit analysis stuff (the "boring" stuff that hip artistic types just cannot be bothered with ).

 

ya i know. i read that yesterday.

lol,

"i was down with my girlfriend and the guys at voodoo forums helped me"

that's why i pay 7500 bux for my laptop. and i get relationship advice bonus from the guys at voodoo forums.

 

lol the MaliBal notebook costs $5,570.00
i have the same configuration
and i got it for $3,0029.00

and i really dont wanna know how much voodoo charges for it
probably my life savings and then my retirement fund as well
and all my future kids souls

 

Probably wouldn't have been so "down" with the g/f if he hadn't blown $7,500 on a notebook that should only have cost about $4,000 - that wasted $3,500 could have been spent on the g/f - no doubt she'd have been pretty "up" by then.

 

Shyster, that dude is probably 16 years old and his parents must be loaded(with BS also) . If you educate a kid in such a way that money means nothing to him, may God forbid that he will become a sort of leader...

 

I know the type all too well, unfortunately (when I was a foreign-service brat growing up in the 70s in places like Lagos they were usually the snotty little ankle-biters of political appointees - here today, gone today).
