    Hi guys/girls

    I am looking specifically for an Asus G73JH (i beleive its G73JH-TZ008V in the uk which is the same as the US A1?)

    I have done some research into UK prices and have come up with several places to buy but what I am stuck with is where is the best place to buy in the UK or who is gonna offer the best deal.

    Also some info on seller reputation would be good....

    I have seen them at Play.com, simplyasus.com to mention a few but im not over sure on reputation etc.

    Would really appreciate some input if any one has had a good/bad experience for anywhere in the UK for this model.

    Thanks
    Steve.

    I'd like to piggyback this request. If this model can be found for under £1600 inc vat, i'll buy.

    I'd go for the lesser spec model that IS available in the UK, but I'm too worried about the screen quality. (the ty063v version, with core i5).

    I think he's referring to the quality of the laptop. Also its cheaper to get it in the states then import the to UK.

    u can get it from asuslaptop.co.uk and get it delivered in 2 weeks.. someone here has done it... u can also get it from an ebay seller and get it delivered next day but its slightly more expensive.. about 1800... most reliable IMO is play.com if they have stock.
