No love for laptops?

It's due to their agressive pricing. We made a decision to offer razor thin margins on them in order to provide the best pricing and value as possible.

There is a sale for our laptops, free memory upgrades.

The packaging the laptop comes in is very protective. It's not the same ultra protective packaging the desktops come in but that's not needed with a laptop. Pound for pound the protective packaging is equivalent on the laptops compared to the desktops.

I do agree with your point about the certificate of ownership, wish I had one of those.

The games that come with the GTX 600 series is an nVidia deal across all builders and GTX 600 gpu resellers. nVidia does not include their laptop graphics cards in this deal. Same goes for AMD with their gamer bundle.

Believe it or not, the laptops are priced very aggressively. Unlike desktop components, laptop parts are not as commercially available, so every boutique builder has to pay pretty much the same price for the components.

And since Digital Storm offers an awesome warranty and stress tests every laptop, their profit margin is much smaller compared to other builders who don't stress test their laptops, don't test each component for quality, don't offer as good of a warranty, and don't have as good customer service.

So yes, this is due to their aggressive pricing.

There is, and always has been, a difference between a GTX xxx series, and a GTX xxxM series. All the laptop GPUs are the M series. The deals that apply to the standard desktop series have only ever applied to the M series when explicitly stated. I'm not just basing this on Digital Storm's policies, this is based on similar promotions from 5 different companies since 2001 (which is the earliest I can remember getting such a deal).

Here is the link you requested:

Read the first paragraph. (Noting the lack of "M")

Also, I would think you could request to purchase a shirt, I doubt DS would have to have their arm twisted too hard on that one.

Thank you everyone for your help.

@baldy0326,

You're right about the certificate, the reason why we don't provide one is because we're unable to provide the dedication to customizing and labor that we do to our desktops over to our laptops. Laptops are very easy to simply put together, all we do is add the CPU, memory, and storage and run our tests.

Nevertheless, if you wish, we would be more than happy to send you a certificate, as we do value your business and would love for you to join our family of awesome customers!

Just email me your order details: [email protected]

You're welcome. Sounds good!

Laptops can take usually 7 business days to even 14 depending on how busy we are, especially now since the holidays are here.

you can keep the laptop, i just want the certificate. that's the most important part.
