Title: newegg pwns me.
Post by: quasi-modo on June 16, 2005, 11:40 PM
I ordered a laptop from them at 11:00am today (est). It was on the truck at 2:30pm (I am assuming that is pst). I didn't even purchase the 'rush processing' or anything. I <3 newegg so much.

I looked around a bit and found this laptop to be a good deal. Tiger direct is the next best thing to newegg for me because they are out of florida so the shipping cost is less... the downside is florida has a 7% sales tax though.

I was just going to say TigerDirect, I've never went with newegg for anything, but I am happy with TigerDirect, they never have let me down, but sounds like you got a sweet deal.

Ouch, bad luck.


I bought a video card off of newegg around 6 months ago. It was only $80 and it's good enough to play Battlefield 2 n' such. I just ordered 1 gig of ram for around $80, and a PCI video card for another computer for around $70. They usually have pretty good deals.

well i tried to run suse and it is not playing ball with this laptop. It is terribly unstable. I mean i know no linux will run nice out of the box but i am knda tired of rpm based distros too. I wanna give kubuntu or ubuntu a try. Prolly kubuntu w/ that kde pack so it is like ubuntu + kubuntu. My friend runs that on his laptop and it is working nice... I am going ot have to look for an article for running linux on this one w/ the distros i like. I might look for suse info if i still wanna use suse / novell. I would like to stay away from mandrake and fedora though... ill go back to those if I cant get anything else to run smoothly w/ this laptop.
