595 DOLLARS??!


A bargain price for a computer you probably shouldn't use for extended periods due to horrible ergonomics!

For that price, they should include a matching 3" high wrist rest.

I wonder if the VicPro's user manual will be a rebranded Cybernet manual, complete with Cybernet's 800 number for tech support!

If only the differences were clear!  Sounds like possibly a different revision that Cybernet will most likely also be selling, though usually WiFi is a MiniPCI addon (redesigning a motherboard to have it integrated seems like a waste.)

$100 less, without WiFi:

Hey look, they don't seem to be selling at that price, either.

Hey look, MiniPCI WiFi.  That's about a $20 option.

I wonder if Cybernet sells them without the CYBERNET logo stamped into the heatsink or if they paid the CUSA photoshop guy overtime to clean it up on their picture.

The WiFi shows up as included when you view the items in the store.

I cringe to think how many units they have to sell to cover the Disney advertising.
