    Is anyone familiar with the different pricing of the various models.
    Best Buy seems to have the lowest pricing of any retailer, but it's hard to tell what the main differences are between them all. Best Buy is charging $729, where Office Max has it listed for $899. Amazon has various models in between, but with very little to distinguish all of them.

    Any advice as to what may be missing from the lower priced models?

    3g wireless mobile internet and bluetooth are typical omissions from the lower priced/specced models

    everything else is upgradeable, RAM, SSD etc

    Also check which CPU they come with. Some have the slower i3; some have the faster i5.
