Anyone know anything about them?

60GB HDD
8" LCD

about R3300?

Rebranded product maybe? I need a small lappy with decent battery and storage.

this thing looks like it kicks the EEE big time, comes with a 60 gb hdd awesome.

They cost R3600 each, or if you can find a seller who buys in bulk from Sahara, they will cost R3259 (You have to order more than 5 to get this price). If you buy between 2 and 5, it will cost R3500.

You would even consider buying something that has a Sahara Logo on it?

 

[eitai2001]

Ok ... if I scratch off the logo will you buy it

I think I've got a gigabyte sticker lying around ... I put that on instead ... and charge you R1000 extra cause it says Gigabyte ... deal?

Why not? I have sold so many laptops from sahara, that 1.73 core duo and a few of the lower end ones and they run perfect man.

Sahara is pretty good quality and very cheap.

For an extra grand I'd rather buy an MSI Wind.
Atom processor, 10 inch screen, gig of ram and a 80 gig hard drive. It's a bit of a no-brainer.

I'll post the ad when I get home - don't have access to attachments in this damn place.

Can you get it locally for that price though?

I checked with pinnacle and they told me they don't have them, and won't get them for a while?

Sure 1k may seem like it does not makes sense but lets see:

Sahara are selling 1.73 core duo with 1 gig memory for 3.5k, awesome price, decent laptop with 15"4 screen, i have bought about 10 of these and they are flippin awesome.

Now you guys are saying we should buy a msi small slow lappy for 400 bucks more, that makes no sense to me.
