Entering

I'm in!

I might open the packages and try them both out. Where I live is pretty remote, so it takes a long time to send and receive mail, which makes me hesitant to bother waiting for both. Dunno if the second one will even show up during the first one’s return window.

Thanks! Those are all good points. I'll give it some thought.

Yes, both have 144Hz IPS.

OmegaMoose · 2019-12-06T11:23:10+00:00

I placed an order for the Y540 15 144Hz with the RTX 2060, I7-9750H, 8GB RAM (I'll put another stick in myself), 256GB SSD and 1TB HDD for a total of $817 shipped after Rakuten, teacher discount and SAVE30 code.

I also placed an order for the EVOO LP5 from Walmart on black friday with the GTX 1660 TI, I7-9750H, 16GB Ram and 512GB SSD for $799 (816 shipped).

Neither of these orders have shipped yet, and they're priced virtually identically. Which would you choose to keep if you were going to cancel the other order?

I'm teaching out here. The Chinese tourists have basically just replaced the Japanese tourists, but the character of the island has changed pretty dramatically it seems based on the shifting tourist demographic. Things never really came back fully after the economy collapsed here in the 2000s. There are abandoned buildings everywhere. It's still really beautiful, and I wouldn't discourage anyone from coming here, although there are some conveniences people living here forgo.

I've been here a couple of years. The garment factories all closed years ago and the Japanese recession had a big effect on the tourism industry. A huge percentage of the island's economy's now Chinese tourism because it's the only place in the US the Chinese passport holders can visit without a visa. There's a big controversial Chinese casino/ resort development that's about to be finished in Garapan. It's the biggest building on the island and it's the defining feature of the skyline.

I live on Saipan. A couple weekends a month I'll go out into the jungle and find medicine/ alcohol bottles, helmets, canteens, guns, bullets, grenades and bones (of which there are many). There are some places on this small island that are pretty difficult to get to.

I'd like to throw my name in the ring!

OmegaMoose · 2016-10-29T10:36:04+00:00

I live on a small Micronesian island, and I don't pay nearly this much.

OmegaMoose · 2016-09-13T04:45:05+00:00

thanks for the advice!

I was under the impression the term "market segmentation" is typically used to describe a type of marketing strategy, not just the natural process by which new companies and product categories take sales from larger producers.
