The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

Do any of the resellers offer discounts for NBR members? I check around the forum but didn't find a definite answer that was up to date. Thanks.

The only thing that some of them will offer is a 2-3% discount for cash/e-check payments instead of using a credit card, basically passing along the savings equal to the amount of the credit card processing fee (you'll have to peruse their websites for further details). On rare occasions, a sale or something on a specific model they're trying to get out of their store inventory.

Asus NA corporate will also sometimes offer incentives ($100-200 rebates) on certain models after they've been out a while, if they're not selling that well, to move the product.

Geared2play.com (or btotech.com) is another famous ASUS reseller that I would contact to.

They have recently shipped a few items (Atheros wireless card and a brand new keyboard for my F8 laptop) to me for no fee (--no shipping fee either) even though I was not their customer before. I am sure they treat their customers even better.
