    I recently bought an ASUS G1S-A1 laptop for $1450 from ZipZoomFly, and I have to say, I love it!

    This is the most comfortable laptop i've used and the keyboard action is awesome...... The laptop's features are really nice, and overall I think its the best notebook in the $1200-$1500 range........ why spend over $2000 for Clevo/Sager or Dell XPS?

    Anyone else have G1S? What do you all think?

    Actually the competing Clevo/Sager goes for about 1600-1800. The thing that won me over with the G1S when I was shopping for it 1 month ago was teh HDMI output and the video card.

    I got it for $1450 from ZipZoomFly due to a $40 instant rebate from ZZF and the $80 mail-in rebate from ASUS that they were promoting during the month of October......

    Of course I bought mine right before the rebate thing came about... go figure... but yes to answer your original question, I love this computer. I'm very happy I went with this choice as opposed to anything else in this price range

    Hey I'm going to pull the trigger on this deal as well and was wondering if zipzoomfly includes the backpack and mouse that newegg ships with the G1S?
