Question:
W7J - Did I get a good deal?
Hi guys,
I just bought myself a W7J. But I believe it is an older model I got it for $1100 usd + tax. What do you guys think?

That's fine, especially if the unit is brand new. The cheapest I've seen (through resellers) is $1299.00 USD, but that was with the -$100 from asus, that rebate is now over, and -$100 from the seller. That's for the exact same unit as yours. Is it white, your W7J?
Remember to get the free 2nd year warranty.
At the moment Asus is making a change to Merom (Core 2 Duo) processors, so yes, you've got "last years" model per se.
When it cross the boarder, I think it would be approx $1400.00 CND due to GST on the unit. It's still a good deal.
Have fun with you new toy.

Well, before you get into if you got a good deal, you have to know that the "yonah" - code name - cpu IS what is considered the mobile Core Duo cpu... and that is what would be in a Centrino Duo laptop.... It's 32bit.. which is the "older" model.... and that price is fine. It would seem that you just got the rebated price but perhaps whoever you bought it from is going to take that on their end... who knows.

I think that is the case since it was purchased when the rebate was happening.

It's not brand new. It's been used for a couple of weeks. Does that place have the white one?
Answer:
Re: W7J - Did I get a good deal?
Not at that price, the only place I know that sells white is milestonepc for the full price. Since its only a couple weeks old (2 weeks) you unit should be able to get the 2nd warranty, right?...Ok, I'm not too sure, but most likely not, if the original owner has not sent in the warranty card/application. Maybe justin may shed some light. I would be nice though.
Yes, you won't be able to get the Vista upgrade, or the rebate, but it's still a good deal, be happy! And, for some odd reason, your user name reminds me of another person.......

I would tell you - no you didn't get a good deal...... especially if you save you bought it used... one day, one month, or one year.. it doesn't matter.... it's used...... but to not get the rebate, the extra year warranty, or the vista upgrade.... yeah, I wouldn't call it a deal at all... it's only as good as you think it is.... but the value of the things you didn't get are certainly more than you saved... .so in my book that's considered a bad deal... but if you think it's good, that's all that matters.

I think what I will do is ask the seller for the receipt.

Very true Justin, but we shouldn't really be saying it so bluntly. I know, you are trying to be honest but, what's done is done, so...SweetNovember hopefully you are pleased with the buy.

mythless, Justin was no more blunt than you were, he said he doesn't think it was a deal, but that this is something that is in the eye of the beholder. To be honest, it doesn't sound terrible to me. Its far cheaper than my V6j, but I would still take the V6j over the W7j any day.
