Newegg has JBLs back in stock

GA Russell · 03-15-2011, 02:19 PM

I see today that (contrary to rumor) Newegg has the black JBL back in stock, but it's $89.99 without any extras.

Well, that lasted one day. They're out of stock again.

cromag · 03-16-2011, 09:44 PM

Alright! Who bought it?!

Ken Maltby · 03-17-2011, 01:09 AM

Not Me! I already have four.

OT: I just tried out the DirecTV HD DVR feature that lets you search "YouTube" videos
on your TV. I used "jetbook" as the keyword for the search and was surprised how many
there were and how good they looked on my 100" screen.

Luck;
Ken

Amazon has it in stock for $79.99 http://www.amazon.com/Ectaco-JBL-EN-...uct/B002Z6B4AC

Thanks tomereader! It just so happens that I have $70 in Amazon gift cards. I've been planning on buying some books, but maybe I should go ahead with this instead.

You are welcome GA Russell, I always check amazon first they _usually_ have the best price or if I combine with a two day super saver shipping special that usually beats the competitions combined sale price plus shipping cost

I used to then check Tiger Direct but am waiting to see how they are going to treat me after basically being "bait and switched" on that Archos 7 home tablet (refurbished) that they had advertised as having android 2.1 then it arriving with android 1.5 ... if they refund with no restocking fee then I guess I'll be happy

GA Russell · 03-24-2011, 02:40 PM

I see that the Amazon/J&R price is now back up to $99.99.

demingite · 03-24-2011, 08:47 PM

As of 3-24, both the JBL and the JBM are selling for $84.99 US.

GA Russell · 03-24-2011, 09:10 PM

demingite, a click on tomereader's link still shows me $99.99. Where are you getting your number?

PS - OK, I see that you were talking of Newegg, and that they have them back in stock again.

demingite · 03-24-2011, 09:47 PM

Sorry about that, I meant to mention that Newegg has them again.

I see the gray one at newegg for 69.99. That's great! I wonder how annoying the battery bump is on that one. I wish I had gotten the regular Jetbook without the batteries (have the JBL).

Hmm... I'm curious, what do you find annoying about the battery bump?

I kinda like having it there.

Ken, it is a nice thing to hold onto. But it is not symmetrical! I would have preferred they make the entire back thicker rather than just one part. It looks funny when you lay it flat. I know, its ridiculous of me.

Also if it was thin all over (instead of bumpy) it would slide into a pocket/purse easier. And I imagine without the batteries it would be much lighter, and therefore more portable.

But its a heck of a lot cheaper than the other one. So I'll just keep mine, bump and all.

No argument from me either. I just don't appreciate asymmetrical things, so it is just ugly. Fortunately, it does what I want, so I have three.
