    I just cancelled my Dell 1520 for an Asus G1S. I was sitting on the fence and the G1S went on sale locally for 1749.99+tax. I'm getting it for 1905.74 out the door tonight. I couldn't find a better deal anywhere else.

    So I guess now I'm going to hang out here in the Asus forums a bit.

    I'm guessing Best Buy, since that the only place locally which sell it for that price. But it does not come with a mouse,Bag and the processor is only 2.0ghz and only 1 year warranty, compare to buying it online for a little bit more.

    www.infotechnow.com They are a local computer store.

    In their bundles section it comes retail with a USB fan for 1749.99

    This is not the G1S-X1 that best buy sells, this is the G1S-A1 with the mouse and bag.

    I actually went there last night and they were out, getting more in today.

    Well I have my G1S and all seems well. It runs great, I formatted and installed Vista Buisness first thing. I don't really play games so I haven't had anything to report there. I'll most likley post a thread with pictures later.
