Why was the price of the studio 15n just increased by $175 -- is it a mistake??
Hi,
I was about to buy a Sudio 15N and I had been watching the price. For some unknown reason the price was increased by $175 this week. The only difference is a switch from the
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T5750 (2.00GHz/667Mhz FSB/2MB cache)
to
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T5850 (2.16GHz/667Mhz FSB/2MB cache), which is not $175 more expensive. Note there were *no* special offers in the configs below:
Below are the configurations I priced out before this week and this week:

Prices are laible to fluctuate - even on a day-to-day basis, due to the economy/market forces/currency value, etc :emotion-55:

Sorry but I disagree. The prices for the ubuntu linux machines have at least for the last few months only fluctuated by a few bucks and that fluctuation is usually in the form of an identified "special". In this case this the base system went up by $175. It was also a low cost system to start with so this was an extremely large increase -- which is why I wondered if it was a mistake.
