    Just wondering if anyone can see the 12.3% cashback anymore? Or how do I get it? The right side is advertising mother's day...

    Still showing for me, sure your using the keyword "laptops"?

    Also, if it doesnt do it the first time, keep refreshing.

    So I don't know what I should do, buy from tigerdirect with cashback or buy from xoticpc?

    Main differences (obviously diff models)

    Tigerdirect:
    $1599.99 - $196.80 bing cashback = TOTAL $1403.19
    320GB 7200RPM x2
    No backpack
    No Mouse
    Support?

    XoticPC:
    $1501.76 with the check thing discount
    500GB 7200RPM x2
    Backpack
    Mouse
    Preorder (Longer shipping)

    I have an intel SSD, so I probably should just go for the tigerdirect one right?

    Xotic will give you excellent support, though.

    I wouldn't mind an extra $100 or so if it means I get the excellent support that Ken (from GentechPC) offers.

    Speaking of Bing, I think Gentech will put up a G73 up on a buy-it-now eBay sale so you can get Bing from that. Just ask.

    Does it matter though? Wouldn't I just call up Asus if i needed warranty help?

    Well, Gentech does have an eBay store, so it's for the win.

    They help you with the paperwork. Just give them the problem, and if it can't be fixed by the end user they'll do the paperwork Asus needs for the RMA. And trust me, Ken bends over backwards to help people in matters besides RMA.


    That's not to say that Justin or Donald or the others are bad, mind you, it's just that I don't have experience with them. That being the case, Gentech all the way.
