    Hello. I've been carefully studying all my options regarding the G73. Buying from the resellers listed is a (more annoying) option, but I trust Amazon and their return policies as well as their ability to ship to my current address even if it's not my billing address.

    Does anyone have any experiences with the A2's from Amazon? Are there any visible negative points to it, or to buying a G73 from one of the resellers not listed?

    Amazon.com: ASUS Republic of Gamers G73JH-A2 17-Inch Gaming Laptop (Black): Computer & Accessories

    It does come with the backpack and mouse, and so forth, so...

    My other option would be to swing by a local Bestbuy but I've been dreading the fabled LCD roulette thanks to the stories.

    Thanks for any input.

    The Asus G73JH- A1 17-Inch Gaming Laptop with BluRay is available at Fry's stores for $1699 if you want to purchase from a local retailer.

    It does come with the accessories. But if you have a issue with your g73, hope you don't mind deals with asus direct. Other retailers like PNB or xotic will help you first before dealing with asus.

    That's what I thought. However, resellers are obligated to help you only with the parts they upgraded. If you upgraded the hard drive, wireless card, etc. and then had issues with the parts you upgraded then you can work with the reseller for assistance, returns and repairs for your upgraded parts. If you purchased a 100% stock G73 the reseller may answer some of your questions but ultimately they'll tell you to contact Asus support.
