I was gonna go for this but erev shabbos rush didn't allow...
Now that it's out of stock I might as well ask:
What's the regular rate for i5 & i7 respectively?
Something along the lines of the above mentioned specs.

Looks like no warranty if I add an ssd since i'd be breaking some kind of seal but I went for it...
Paid with an amex, hope that helps somehow...

Replacing a hard drive should not brake any seal

In any case, there's no clear indication that there is a warranty included altogether.. Unless I didn't look well enough.

The one quoted above is still OOS, who knows for how long...
It came out to $468 after taxes.

I just found this, with the option of buying it from another seller on Amazon, it comes out to $465 shipped.

Good deal?
I'm scared of it being refurb...

How come the laptop thread is blazing and this thread is stuck?...

I'm looking to get another PC in addition to my laptop (which I use as a desktop most of the time, stationary on my desk connected to big monitor).

I need an additional machine and was thinking to go for a desktop since one of them does not need to be movable.
Also, I was under the impression that:

a) Laptop/desktop with similar specs, desktop is always cheaper.
b) Desktop will take longer until it starts becoming slow/"old".
c) The fact that you don't move around the desktop makes it less prone to hard drive damage.

The above mentioned points are what's keeping me from buying another laptop and doing the same thing which I'm doing with my current laptop.

Can someone please confirm/deny the above points and if there's any pros/cons to add please mention them?

I would greatly appreciate it.

A) is absolutely true, b) is one of the effects of a c) is not much of an issue especially if you put in an SSD

(Most i3 desktops are better than most i7 laptops)

A) is absolutely true

For some reason, I'm seeing that much these days.
