bigjimslade Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 The Model number will NEVER come up on BB site. BB goes to the computer makers and special orders the door buster computers and has the maker create a special SKU and model number so you cant price match the item or buy it early. The item is downloaded into the BB POS system on Thursday. Sorry, that's all the ad states about the desktop and the model # isn't coming up online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigjimslade Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 You still wont find it. BB does a good job of making the computer makers to change numbers so no one can price match it. Maybe model # was the wrong choice of words. I looked up the #s @ the end of the ad description. the laptop came up, the desktop didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
