Buyers remorse ?

They are back ordered ATM . I have a little buyers remorse some things have been bothering me.

1. You can buy this exact system at at least 3 other places , for just about the same price . Only difference from place to place to branding.
2.yes it's a super nice setup but do I realy need this powerfull a laptop
3 . DS reviews on other places tend to be bad , older but still bad.
4 . They said its back ordered 9-10 days they have yet to put any warning of this on there website.
5 the only other person I have found who has purchased this laptop and done any review is lucifersboots who has done a ok review I like to see a hands on video or something from DS. I am just worried that they are just calling in orders to other places and sticking there sticker on it.

If any body else out there has bought one of these I would love to hear from you and if some from DS could answer some of these concerns.

Also I figured I would copy the response another customer said in regards to your post on his thread (http://www.digitalstormonline.com/forums/krypton-initial-review-tidf21983/)

Originally posted by lucifersboots I can help you. I just received my Krypton maybe a month ago? 1) you can buy this hardware in alot of places. You CANNOT buy the level of service DS has provided to me. You also cannot buy the kind of support you'll get later. I know exactly who you're looking at if you've done your homework- I did too. I made my call, and even spent probably more than I really had to in order to get a good company. Krypton's a good product, but without a good company behind it, you're screwed if there's ever an issue. 2) Do you need this laptop power now? Probably not. Few do. Will you in 3 years? Four? Oh yeah. You can buy a cheap system now that meets your needs now. And again in 12-18 months, and again in another 12-18 months. You'll hate it- substandard cheap crappy parts, nonexistent support, and every time you get new you get to set everything up again. No thanks man. I bought a rock solid machine now that I'm going to drive the wheels off of. It's a beast today, and it'll still be a decent machine in 3 years, probably more. 3) Any yahoo can setup a bitch and moan website and do a lovely hit piece that will last forever online. I did my research with the CA attorney general and local BBB. They love DS. So does G4, ComputerShopper, and Ziff-Davis. Believe me when I tell you that I have faith in these guys. 4) This is a boutique shop doing high end machines for a very specific and unique clientele that both knows their stuff and works with materials that are every bit as perishable as fresh tomatoes. Find me a computer shop that has video cards introduced more than 6 months ago, and I'll show that same shop's owner pissed off for all the 5.25 drives he still has too. Just In Time manufacturing is the way of the world today. Sometimes you just have to get in line. Want it now? Amazon and Best buy have tons of crap that's half as good as anything here that'll last a third as long. No thanks man. 5) yeah, my review wasn't long or detailed enough. I can say I've used it nearly every day since I bought it. In fact as we speak I'm pairing my now 5th headset to it hoping for something I like. The laptop is freaking awesome man. By the way, the new headset is the Beats Studio Wireless. I haven't tested the mic yet, but the headset is killer.
