Asus G73JH 1499$CAD at Best Buy

Just wanted to give a heads up to those Canadians who wanted one of the almighty G73s that it's available at your local BB for 1499$CAD which isn't so bad compared to the regular US price of ~1600$.

Here's the link:

Note: it does not carry the standard Asus warranty.

 

Hi, isn't it G73?

 

Note that this lappy has the downgraded screen with a resolution of 1600x900, instead of the 1920x1080 available on the model initially released.

 

I wish it was a g74 ;p

The differences between the BB version and an A2 are:
1600x900
no bluetooth
no bag
no mouse
1.3 mp webcam
No asus global warranty

Really tempted though, might take a drive and go see the screen for myself... debating whether the above is worth the extra $200, or if canada will see an x05 model like the us BB's.

 

Yeah I typo-ed the thread title, also, it'd be nice if a mod could also change the extension of the model, it's not the A2 like most Canadian sites bu a BB exclusive.

You also forgot that the keyboard is a Canadian one rather than the US English so that might be annoying to some.

 

US bestbuy is selling this model for 1599

 

This is the best deal canada has had in a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time. Sure beats out canada computers, NCIX and tigerdirect.

 

Actually not necessarily. The online model has higher screen resolution, better warranty and extra accessories so the higher price tag is somewhat justified.
