Sort of curious about how good a deal this is; I like what I've heard about Velocity Micro for their gaming desktops, but don't know as much about their laptops.

This does at least sound like a decent price though; the same basic configuration for a NoteMagix L80 on their site comes out to $2025.]]>Sep 26th 2006 8:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/velocity-micro-launches-notemagix-l80x-ultra-in-best-buy/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/velocity-micro-launches-notemagix-l80x-ultra-in-best-buy/
But what is wrong with Velocity Micro's pricing here? $2000 for a Core 2 Duo in a 6.5 pound 15 inch model with 2 gigs of RAM, a 7200rpm 100 gig HD and a GeForce 7600GS sounds pretty reasonable to me, actually.

And $2000 doesn't seem that much higher than what I've seen some similar configured Asus' go for.]]>Sep 26th 2006 11:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/velocity-micro-launches-notemagix-l80x-ultra-in-best-buy/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/velocity-micro-launches-notemagix-l80x-ultra-in-best-buy/Sep 27th 2006 12:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/velocity-micro-launches-notemagix-l80x-ultra-in-best-buy/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/velocity-micro-launches-notemagix-l80x-ultra-in-best-buy/Sep 27th 2006 12:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/velocity-micro-launches-notemagix-l80x-ultra-in-best-buy/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/velocity-micro-launches-notemagix-l80x-ultra-in-best-buy/
A "lot less"? I just went to PowerNotebooks and custom configured their "PowerPro L 8:15 FORCE" with as close to the same specs as this model as I could, and the price came out to $2009, or $1948.73 after an instant $60 discount.

Maybe I'm missing something, but it again looks to me like Velocity Micro has priced this quite reasonably. ]]>Sep 27th 2006 8:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/velocity-micro-launches-notemagix-l80x-ultra-in-best-buy/http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/26/velocity-micro-launches-notemagix-l80x-ultra-in-best-buy/
Again though, I don't think I really see where you're getting the idea that this model can be had for a lot less from PowerNotebooks. If you're just saying that you can get it cheaper by doing a custom configuration with lower specs, that's true, but you can also go to velocitymicro.com and custom configure a NoteMagix L80. ]]>Sep 27th 2006 8:11AM
