ABS Mayhem F-15 is also MSI Megabook M630??
« on: November 09, 2006, 12:42:58 AM »
I've just discovered that my laptop has a twin!!! (GASP!!!)

I currently own this laptop: An ABS Mayhem F-15 notebook (almost 1 full yr).  Here's a link to it: http://www.abs.com/app/f15_specs.asp

Okay, Now.....  check THIS out:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/notebook/nb/pro_nb_detail.php?UID=612

Notice how both the ABS Mayhem F-15 and the MSI Megabook M630 offers the SAME EXACT specs and features?  The barebone itself are the same.  I am shocked.  Just shocked to discover my laptop has a twin!!!!!!!!!!   :)  

Also when I was talking to an ABS representive.......  ABS and NEWEGG are both owned by the same company?  (I wonder how MSI fits in to this...)

Does anyone else find this kind of cool?  I, for one, is in complete awe.

PS the battery life is 2- 2 1/2 hrs long.

For all of the many laptop brands/models sold,there are only a few companies that actually MAKE them. There is a lot of re-branding with familiar names for OEM's.

That article was very insightful for me.  I was under the impression that a model was made by the companies themselves.  

Thank you. :)
