    For those not subscribed to Tigerdirect's emails, I received an email today for their "Pink Friday Week" deals they have going on.

    Specifically, I found this:
    ASUS G73JW-XT1 Laptop Computer - Intel Core i7-740QM 1.73GHz, 8GB DDR3, 500GB HDD, Blu-ray Player/DVDRW, 17.3 Full HD, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, Black, 2-Year Warranty, 1-Year Accidental at TigerDirect.com

    It is the G73JW-XT1 apparently, which has 8gb DDR3 @ 1333, a Blu Ray player, full HD screen, a 500gb HDD @ 7200 RPM, GTX 460m, and contains the 740q (1.73ghz core i7).

    Price: $1,499.99

    Thought it was a pretty good deal for the new JW models.

    that is their everyday price. I jumped for a sec when I saw it on the PF ad, but it's no cheaper. Still a great deal tho.

    missing: 1 500GB HDD, backpack and mouse

    Giving those facts, the price is not special. Plus sales tax for almost everyone and +1 to DCx

    But getting the info out for all was a good thing :)

    I have never had any issues with them and have been buying from them for 5 years


    Never paid sales tax from Kansas or Missouri
