    Does anyone have a G1S purchased from best buy? If so, do they have any commentary on it? I'm looking at buying it there, although I'm aware that buying it online is a better value

    Same machine, slower processor and less warranty for about the same price...

    And you don't get the mouse and backpack either. Not worth it for the $100 or so you save.

    is there any chance I could talk best buy down in terms of price because of this?? It seems like online is a way better value, but the financing at BB and the ability to have it immediately is certainly appealing

    hey black im in same situation as you. I actually ordered a C90s but due to some backorder and preordering and problems I may cancel to buy a G1s. So my advice to you is unless you plan to finance, dont worry about those small extras from online and 7300 to 7500 isnt a huge difference. You also get the computer instantly upon purchase. Otherwise if your paying cash easily order online. And they do not price match, atleast I do not believe so. Sucks though cause I have to return all the parts I bought for the C90s and pay restocking fee and lose about 100 total.
