So my question is would I get the 3% cash discount,$50 off of $1500 and free shipping??? I have heard conflicting reports about this(the website shows it pretty clear but I seen people say otherwise on this form Custom Laptops, Gaming Notebooks, Custom Gaming Laptops | XOTIC PC )

what is the $50 off ram upgrade?
also I am in the military (do i get that discount?)

Im not sure if it appropriate to put the prices in here( I would like to know what I will owe out the door)

Thanks I have to know what the bottom line is before I can tell the wife what the damage is

 

You should be able to avail the 3% cash discount along with the $50 NBR discount through a wire transfer, along with the standard free shipping. I'm not sure the military discounts stacks along with that. You'd best ask a XoticPC rep..

 

unfortunately they are off for the weekend (cant really blame them)

 

You can always PM one of them across the Sager/Clevo forums, be it either Justin, Hustady or any other. Search from the memberlist.

 

You only get 2% off with any discount. And they take away free shipping.

So it's 2% and NRB with out free shipping or military discount.

Which I think is crap that nothing stacks and they actually reduce your discount of paying with cash. I almost didn't buy from them I was so pissed about the crappy discount, well little to no discount I received would I should have had another 75 or more off.

 

Just to let you know, if you're only ordering now, you'll have to wait till probably the end of June to receive it. Then again the orders in front of you have probably decreased due to everyone switching to alienware lol.

 

The $50 off RAM is the downgrade from 1600MHz down to 1333 MHz. There is almost no difference (unless you're usually compressing files or want faster HD 4000) in performance.

The RAM discount will stack with anything, because it is actually a config option rather than a "discount". gaidin is right, they will only stack a 2% cash discount and one other discount.

 

I dont think they stack because when i pmed hustady about the student discount he said i couldnt get free shipping with it. so i dropped the student discount since free shipping saved more anyway

 

What? Maybe I would be better off trying to negotiate a discount from AW. I guess I will see what discounts they allow me to stack since I ordered a NP9150 yesterday. Also the delay on the 7970M is kind of annoying.

 

It's usually frowned upon for us to post the discounts. There is some right and wrong info listed above. For clarification on what works with what feel free to PM me.

 

Quick question.

Does the 1500 limit include the shipping cost? Just making an example with random numbers. If I get a laptop that is $1450 and the shipping is $51, does the NBR discount apply?

 

The $1500 is the price of the computer not including shipping costs.
