    Does anyone know any good spots to grab a G73SW in Canada that offers a option to pay it off monthly for about one year?

    Edit: Sorry meant the G73SW-XA1

    Alright thanks for that, i'll wait for a couple more replies :)

    Edit: How much would the graphics downgrade with BB's 1GB version of the GTX 460, while the XA1 has 1.5GB?

    No one has confirmed 100% that the BB ones only have 1gig yet AFAIK. I'll have to get my friend to get a SS of GPUz to see for sure tonight if I can.

    But even is so, in all practical sense, you'd see 0% gain for about 99.5% of games.

    Hope your able to find a better deal, good luck.

    ASUS G73SW-A1 17.3 Black Laptop at TigerDirect.ca

    Though with a price of $2200, I'm guessing this isn't the route you'd want to take!

    EDIT: Forgot about the requirement on monthly payments for a year; I'm not sure that's something that's offered at Tiger Direct. Sorry!

    Bought my G73JH on NCIX last june.
    Fast shipping, they pricematched it to the OnHop price that was 50$ lower.
    Best part of the deal was that they didn't charge me provincial tax since it's based in BC so.... 7.5% in my pockets :D

    The OnHop price would actually have been highersince they would have charged me the provincial tax but I managed to get the best of both worlds.
