F@(*$@!!!!!!!

I just called PCMall, and it's out of stock. My credit card was declined for some odd ball reason (even though I am sure it should have went through), and now they say I'm out of luck. Their online inventory is definitely not real-time.

Well, for those of you who got in, contrats

As for me :|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|:|


Anyone buy 2, wanna sell one to me? As a thanks for the great deal? :p

The guy at PCMall told me they do share the same stock. But, like you said, it's worth a shot :)

WTF, now eCost is showing 50 in stock again :( this doesn't look promising.

it says it is, but it's not I ordered one, and it still says 68, it's said 68 since yesterday. Their stock is not live. I then called PCMall and they said it was backordered.
Wish there was still a resellerrating.com I think i'd have something to post...

UPS 2nd Day Air Shipping: $27.09
Sales Tax: $0.00

TOTAL: $844.08

when did you order?

and

which one did you order?

I ordered the 256MB one from PCMall @ 1PM Sunday
and another 256MB one from eCost @ 1:30 PM

neither have moved from pending..... i think both places pull from the same stock, and they are out, I am tempted to get the 128MB if it is in stock, but knowing my luck i'll end up with 3 laptops, or none, when all i want is one...

I ordered:
Line Item Information:
Item Number: 968498
Description: Evo N400c Notebook Intel® Pentium® III processor 700MHz,
128MB SDRAM, 20GB SMART Hard Drive, 56K V.90 Modem + 10/100 NIC Combo,
Point Stick, 12.1" CTFT XGA, Microsoft Windows 98 SE

three were 2 product numbers for the 128mb/20gig i chose this one b/c it still had a number next to the stock window. My order still says in warehouse, so don't know what is going on. I realy want this laptop for college this year. Please post if they have sent your Laptops. Thanks

got this for my ecost orders:

Thank you for your recent order. E**** has been cancelled per your request. The Compaq N400C on Order #E***** is currently backordered at this time. We currently do not have an estimated time of arrival to our warehouse.


The thing that gets me is i ordered these from their "countdown page" which of course showed they were in stock. Bad business.

I go look on their site now.... (ecost) they now show 15 of the 128MB ones left.... 10 mins ago they showed 1, and I can bet they are backordered too.
In my book backordered=out of stock , you cant sell stuff you dont have/or cant get.

these guys suck

Sweet, mine has been shipped UPS and it has left the warehouse and is on route to me. :) I knew it was a good idea to jump for the 128/20.

My order was shipped as well.
Weird I order the laptop on Sunday at 7pm, and I still got it. I wasn't dying for it, so I just took a chance. Remember ebay are selling this for 700-800 bucks.

I got the 256 megs version. With no floppy and no CD-ROm

Which sucks nuts.

I ended up getting one shipped to me (out of 4 orders?!)

It will be the 128MB one with 20GB.

So I lost 128MB in the deal, but I have a 64MB stick anyway.

For the record, I think you guys will be getting 20GB HDs even with the 256MB one.

I still think thier system sucks. But they do respond to emails pretty quick (4-5 hours).
