Want this exact item but much cheaper and a much faster delivery? Newegg has it listed cheaper for refurbished which is probably what this item drop will end up being anyway. So here you go. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4X75MH8553

XenonXoniXenon,
The product we are offering is not the exact product that you linked to on Newegg.
We would never mislead the community. If this in fact was a refurbished product we would clearly state that in the title so it would not be missed by anyone. The few refurbished products that Massdrop has dropped all had refurbished in the title of the drop.
Next, to the product that you linked it is only $50 cheaper than our drop here. NewEgg Model= Windows 10 Home VS Massdrop Model= Windows 10 Professional NewEgg Model= 2GB Ram Memory VS Massdrop Model= 4GB Ram Memory NewEgg Model= Refurbished (90 Day Warranty) VS Massdrop Model= New (1 Year Warranty) NewEgg Model#= 7G5-00015 VS Massdrop Model#= LC5-00015
The model we are offering here was a business/commercial build that was not offered to the general retail channels.
While this is on the NewEgg website it is not being sold by NewEgg. It is being sold by the user vius. Who has 4/5 stars and only 16 total reviews. 4 of which are very negative stating they got the wrong products and could not return them.
So, you are really not comparing Apples to Apples here and the $50 savings is not very attractive if you consider everything
Cheers.

XenonXoniThe marketplace seller in that listing doesn't get the best reviews as a seller. That version also has 2GB RAM versus the 4GB RAM in this listing. So no, that's not the exact same nor is it necessarily a better deal.

Tex-ArozziWow, you JUST beat me to that. Awesome information! Thank you very much for clarifying all of that, especially that this is a "new" item with a year warranty.

Tex-ArozziYou just got me back on board. Good job, Hutch. Is it better to commit to the drop or join the drop?

XenonXoniIf you commit to the drop you are only agreeing to purchase the unit if the final drop point is reached. If you join the drop and the final drop point is not reached then you will pay the higher $329.99 price. However, if you join the drop and the final price is unlocked then you will pay the lower price.
The choice is up to you but I would encourage everyone who is interested in any products on Massdrop to either join the drop or commit to the drop. Do not sit around and wait and see if the drop is successful before joining. This just might cause the drop to be unsuccessful as so many people are just waiting for it to unlock the final drop point that it never reaches it.
Cheers.
