    I went to Canada Computers on College street in Toronto to purchase this laptop I saw on their online website:

    ASUS G73JH-A1 Gaming Notebook, Black - Intel Core i7-720QM 1.6GHz Quad Core, 17.3" FHD 1920x1080 LED, 8GB DDR3, 1TB (2x500GB) HDD, ATI RADEON HD 5870 1GB GDDR5, Blu-ray Combo, 802.11bgn, Gb LAN, Bluetooth, HDMI, Webcam, Card Reader, Windows 7 Home Pr

    When I got the laptop today the specs were different, I think this is a fault of Asus themselves, but I was told that my specs would include the following; 1920x1080 LED and 500G 7200RPM x2. I only have 1600x900 resolution and I have about 500 gigs in hard drive space. Even on the box the model says A1, has anyone ever had this issue before? I'm definitely going back to the store tomorrow and going to exchange it for the ACTUAL model.

    sounds like the bb model. How much did you pay? You either bought the wrong model thinking it was the A1 or they sold you the wrong one. Not sure if they come in the same packaging. I wouldnt think they would...
    Did it come with a mouse? If it did, I think they put the wrong model in the A1 box? If not you bought the RBBX05 model I would guess.

    I paid 1900 with taxes. On the box it says A1 model and it came with the mouse and backpack. It is definitely Asus' fault not the store's.
