    very few resellers are willing to import ECS models, but the few that do.. were either cyberpower or ibuypower. no idea if the G420 will..but the other ECS models did make state side. As for it being the BenQ s73.. not so sure.. if it continues to use the same chassis as the S72, then no it is a different laptop.

    I have seen the BenQ s73 in person. Is this the same notebook? The X1600 and built in TV tuner and remote is a killer combo for a 14" notebook, for the BenQ s73.

    no it is not, this one hinges backwards (i.e the screen will go behind the chassis). the S73 hinges normally

    It does have some of the looks of the benq joybook though.
