    I'm looking at getting a g73sw-bst6 on monday. My question is, on some photos it shows this model with a split, separate left and right mouse buttons. But on Best Buy's site they show the older single bar combined button. Can someone tell me which is correct? I really hate the action of the single bar button on the older g73's.

    I think it has two separate buttons. Not a single button.

    I can say for sure that it does have 2 separate buttons as I do own a BST6 myself. Although how do you feel about the whole 128 bit GPU thingy?

    I have a $600 credit at best buy, and my current laptop is over 4 years old. I'm looking at having a refurb for $250 plus tax, so it's a no brainer. I can't get a better deal, the 128 is not a barrier for me.
