    hi. i noticed the price of my notebook dropped today by around a 100 dollars. there seems to be a sale on the screens if anyone wants to take advantage of it. i bought mine at xoticpc but also noticed the price drop elsewhere.

    Yep. www.rjtech.com lowered prices, primarily affecting the 570RU and the D900C.

    Well, not in the past 24 hours. Within the past week the D900C went from $1819 to $1619, which is a price drop. The 570RU also likewise fell.

    The RJtech price drop seems a little misleading though, as additional screen, gpu, and other options are now available and in some cases more expensive. In fact, I priced out the same configuration as I previously had for the non 1333 fsb board revision and it came out higher. For example, the WUXGA screen was an extra $90, now its $195.

    I see no change in Xotic's prices over the past week.

    It's tempting to get one of these but I have to keep reminding myself to wait for a DX10 card that surpasses the 7950gtx in performance.

    I am not seeing that $100 discount in Xotic's website. The WUXGA screen still reads $190 when you configure the notebook. I also see no sign of it on the homepage, item page, or elsewhere. Do you have a link?

    Ah, I see. The rebate's only for the M570RU, not the D901C.
