I doubt they have Newegg's purchasing power, at this juncture, and their prices really aren't unreasonable like they would be if you upgrade a Dell or Apple.

- dheera 5y agoOh sure but they could charge Newegg's price and just order from Newegg? I just feel like if I'm going to order any sort of "bundle" of items I should be getting a discount. Fundamental axiom of sales: price([A, B]) <= price([A]) + price([B])
- bityard 5y agoIf you owned a business, which parts of it would you do for free?
- dheera 5y agoI don't care, but if you were a customer, and price([A,B]) was greater than price([A])+price([B]) elsewhere, who would you buy from? I mean, I'll happily sell you $100 Amazon products for $150 if you'd like. I can even charge for shipping, and not pass on the 5% cashback I get.
- OJFord 5y agoWell a good thing about this is you can do that. Just order it bare without any of the optional parts, and get those wherever you want. I've been thinking of doing that (when it finally launches in the UK..!) just to enjoy the promise of being able to. Even though they're offering RAM and WiFi cheaper than I could find it elsewhere in a quick look (Amazon & Scan).

- lostapathy 5y ago> Oh sure but they could charge Newegg's price and just order from Newegg? Good way to not stay in business. At the very least, they need to mark it up enough to cover the credit card fees when they re-sell it, never mind the costs of the logistics of the resale operation.
