Where did you buy your Asus?

I was just wondering where everyone purchased their Asus notebooks/netbooks.
I've listed as many retailers/resellers that I could think of, and if I'm missing any others, please let me know and I'll contact a mod to add it to the list.

To get things started, I purchased all the following from GenTechPC:
C90S, M50Sv-A1, W7S-B2W, EeePC 701 (x2), U6V-A1, U6Vc-A1, G71G-A1, G50V-A1, EeePC 1000HE, and UL30VT-A1

 

From Squads

 

That would put you in the "Other" category

 

I voted Gentech

 

The egg (newegg).

 

Newegg with their preferred membership...

If you purchase something over $999, they will defer your payment for 1 year without any interest... I got my laptop (in the sig) in July 2008 and I will pay for it in June 2009. (I haven't paid anything yet. )

BTOTech, because of taxes.

 

Bought my W7J from Newegg. I forget where I got my G1S, it may have been eBay, but I didn't vote for that. G50V came from Buy.com. N10J came from GenTech.

You can't beat GenTech IMHO. If I decide to go ASUS for my next one, it will be from them without any doubt.

 

But you didn't have the poll up when I replied.

 

I got mine from a reputable computer shop in our place. I also intend to buy their ASUS eepc, I find it real cute and handy.

 

Bought my 1000HE from gentech.

 

I bought my G50VT-A2 from BTOTech via their ebay store since I was able to use my ebay coupon code and get live cashback. BTOTech was great to work with and I ended up getting a great laptop for a really good price. I also just got an email from Asus a few weeks ago informing me that my free 3rd year of warranty is on the books.

 

I bought from my self. Does my vote even count? Politicians are allowed to vote for them selves. I figured I should too

 

I don't think there would be any reseller who wouldn't buy from their own store

 

I would have asked two questions : Where did you buy from and will you buy from the same place again?

My seller is in the list, but I would never EVER buy from them again. My first laptop was a G1s that has been great, and service with Asus was excellent when I needed it also. Amazingly fast turnround.

This time around, I'm going with the W90 as soon as its back in stock with Newegg.

 

From the now extinct circuit city, portsmouth, NH.

 

G50VT-X1 from BestBuy. *hides before he is smacked for stupidity*
But at $950 I couldn't resist! Best laptop ever for a casual gamer that wouldn't mind losing a few hundred megahertz and a bunch of pixels in exchange for a new iPod!

As for returning to the seller, yes, I'll probably go there again, but only 'cause my beloved CompUSA is no longer with us. I normally use BestBuy to see something in person before I go right on over to Newegg to purchase it! I feel kind of bad doing that so often, so I'll buy a hard drive from BB or something when the price is the same as the Egg's.

 

I bought my G1s from MilestonePC, 2 years ago. They've since gone out of business, so I'm up the creek for service by them. Thankfully, I haven't had any real problems with my laptop.

 

Bought from yourself eh? Bet you enjoyed that 50% off

 

I bought my Z71V from ISTNC 4 years ago. It looks like they're not selling notebooks anymore, but they have been consistently excellent with service, inquiry response, and repairs every time I've needed them. If they still were selling notebooks, I'd buy my next one from them in a heartbeat.

 

got it from newegg. gentech didnt carry the n80Vn-x5. cant blame em though they already carried like 3 different n80 already.

 

Got my first ASUS C90's from CyberPower, don't ask I didn't know any better.
We all do stupid things every once in a while

 

Yeah... I purposely didn't include some of the older resellers such as MilestonePC and ISTNC that are no longer in business since I was hoping to get an idea of where current Asus users got their notebooks

Hopefully this poll will give a better sense of where most people on NBR buy their Asus systems.

 

Ebay is my favorite place to shop online for everything, and I mean everything.

 

Best Buy since it was all I could afford at the time and I wanted an awesome computer to succeed a Sager. *ducks*

 

i haven't tried to purchase at Ebay yet...because i've heard that some of their products are replica.....but anyway, i got my Asus from a amazon ..love it

 

I ordered a G51vx-x2a from Newegg for the fast dual-core. It was DOA, so my replacement -A1 came direct from Asus.

 

I bought mine from Anitec.ca

 

lol got mine from ZZP, great service, shipping etc.

MAIN DEAL which makes em awesome. they had great cashback deal with microsoft, 20% off my laptop = 336USD. The laptop i bought cost 1680USD - 336 USD - 91USD MIR that came with A1 so 1253USD, which IMO is pretty freakin good deal for C2Q/GTX 260m/1080p/640gb HDD/etc

 

ZZP?? (First link from google)

 

While i agree with you to a great extent, i wouldnt buy a laptop from ebay.

I did a couple of times and when i bought my Dell i had mountains of trouble because the person who owned the laptop didn't give me there information, so it was impossible to get tech support/customer service on the notebook.

 

Gentech. Placed my order one evening and got a call the next morning to confirm my order. Shipped out shortly after. A+.

 

Bought my G2S from newegg a couple of years ago. I was really worried about buying one online without seeing it in person first....but it has been pretty much worry free so far. So I went ahead and ordered my G51J a few days ago from newegg as well. I'm sure it will get here all in one piece as well. lol

 

lol ZZP = zipzoomfly, sorry.

 

Bought my UL80VT-A1 from NCIX.com. They have a price match system and I was able to save 40$ on it. Got it for 910$cad!

 

Xoticpc. Ridiculously helpful. Haven't really had customer service like it before. But I live in the UK so I can't expect much

 

I purchased mine at GenTech. Called to me to confirm my order the next day after I placed the order.

 

I Bought mine off Ebay, Refurb ASUS G50VT-X5 for a great price btw

 

Can I ask you how the service was? Thank you

 

m50sv at ZZF
and 1000H at B&H
both times because it was the best price I could find at that particular time...

 

Any new forum members care to add their vote?

 

G51J-A1, G73JH-A2 from Gentech.
You probably know where I'm going to buy my next ASUS/Sager laptop from

 

Bump for those who didn't vote yet

Edit: Powernotebooks and Micro Center added to poll.

 

PCNation here

 

From the Egg.

 

and who has problems with their unit?

 

I bought mine from NCIX

 

I get my G51JX-A1 from XOTICPC!

 

Just voted, bought from Gentech PC on 21st May 2010 and it arrived on 26th night, picked it up at 27th noon. And believe it or not, I'm at Malaysia and it arrived safe n sound.
I kinda regret didn't get another unit or two as once it arrive at my hands, few friends of mine wanted to grab mine away from me. Now they are pestering me to get a few more units for them.

 

Amazon shipped from TigerDirect.
