Good deal on M6400 Covet?

Are they gonna have LED screens on the non covet m6400s? Or should I pull the trigger on the orange covet one?

Got a one time use 25% off coupon.

The orange looks kinda tacky, but maybe it looks better in person. Good deal or should I wait?

Nice coupon. Wish I had one when I ordered.

I'm thinking the orange is going to be really sweet. Bold, yes, but sweet. But if you aren't already feeling the love with the orange I can understand it being difficult to pull the trigger on that config...even with the coupon.

 

yeah "bold" is a good description. i usually dont like to stand out in a crowd, but i really love the RGBLED screen.

 

Hi, Bluemonkey. Do you mind me asking where you found the 25% off coupon? Thanks

 

yeah, they sent it to me in an email. i was surprised i got one too. funny thing is, they sent a survey last week asking what i wanted most from emails... and i said laptop coupons... haha. maybe they really do listen to their customers

 

They didn't send me anything <_<, could've sworn I filled out their surveys. 25% is pretty insane, I would so kill for that right now!

Why not get the silver one?

 

it doesnt have RGBLED edge to edge... thats what sucks. if the silver had it, i'd go for it now. i priced out the silver with the exact same specs with the covet except the screen, and the covet is $300 more. so in essence ur paying $300 more for the RGBLED and obnoxious fruit color.

 

Call in then, if its possible for the covet, I dont see why they cant customize the order for the silver one to have the E2E.

 

I just posted 30%, use that one instead.

 

Link!?!?!?
