    Hi, i'm looking into the ativ book 7, it's $1060 on samsungs site. The best deal i've found is best buy for $999, then tonight i did a quick google and found this site savingstrumpet.com selling it for $799.

    Here's the listing

    Samsung NP740U3E-K01UB ATIV Book 7 13.3 Touch Screen Laptop 4GB Memory 128GB Solid State Drive Mineral Ash Black

    Then i found another listing on their site for $711.

    Samsung IT 13.3 Core i5 3337U 128GB 4GB NP740U3E-K02US

    Is this site legit? It looks a little sketchy, very minimally basic design. No contact info, but i sent a query asking if its actually brand new, fhd, and under warrenty. There's SSL certified logo, does that mean it's safe?

    They have a pretty big selection of laptops, has anyone bought through them before? I've always went with the idea that if something online looks too good to be true, it probably is. Just zeroed in on this notebook so this deal is really tempting me.

    Shady would be an understatement. 2013 Macbook Pro's starting at 629? Lol.

    And why / how would another company be selling the NP740U3E-K01UB, which is unique to Best Buy?

    Think best buy will offer a black Friday discount that's worth waiting a month and a half for?
