    I just wondered why the price in XoticPC is much cheaper than GentechPC.

    G73SW-A1
    GentechPC: $1639
    XoticPC: $1529+$150 MIR>>>$1379!!!

    That's $260 of difference!!

    It is not obligatory for a company to sell at a specific price. I can ask for $4000, you can ask for $500 for the same machine. Buy the cheaper and move on.

    Any other differences like HD size, memory, CPU etc between the two? I'd get it from Xotic and spend the money I saved getting matte 95% color gamut screen fitted.

    Why not just e-mail them directly from their website? You'd probably get an answer much faster.

    Already replied to your email. $1639 is regular price. G73SW is a discontinued model and you often see really low prices if companies want to get rid of them.

    Since we only have two left so we lowered the price to $1529 as well.
