    Hi,

    I have being searching the net all the time for this MSI 1029 and I found some sites really sell it so cheap.

    I went to the cyberpowersystem.com and they sell arround $1,100

    However, in the following link
    http://www.pricegrabber.com/p__MSI_MS_1029_Barebones_Notebook,__10581471

    the prices are much cheaper.

    Is this normal? Or they are selling sth different? because I saw they wrote Athlon 64(sempron) beside.

    Can you explain this to me?

    Thanks

    BTW, what is barebone laptop?

    This systems shown on your link are "barebones." That means they don't come with a CPU, memory or hard drive and you must install them yourself.

    Kozimodo,

    You mean I need to pay more again to buy CPU, RAM and HD, and then install myself

    Anyway, thanks to your reply.
