    I'm going to be travelling to Buffalo in a week and was wondering if it is possible to buy any of the other G51 models besides the RX05 in retail stores?

    Specifically the G51VX-X1A.

    I thought people said they'd bought them at Best Buy, but I don't have any first-hand information since I'm very, very far away from the closest Best Buy right now.

    I actially do want the RX05. I was thinking of getting it shipped accross the boarder to Toronto. But now it looks like I'll be in Buffalo in a week and I can just buy it directly.

    But since I now have the option to smuggle a laptop back without paying duty/canadian taxes, I thought it would be worthwhile to see if I can find the G51VX-X1A.
