Need peoples input on this..

Ok, so I am set on getting this laptop from NewEgg... but when then I saw this on Best Buys site.

Am I looking at the same thing here on both site, where one is a whopping $400 cheaper? Or is it my eyes?

I notice that one is a "ASUS G Series G73SW-A1" and the other is a "G73SW-BST8" But I don't see any difference.

Just need some input from some others.
What I have seen/looked at spec wise on both sites, they appear to be the same...

All I could find that listed the differences was this -

G73SW-BST6 vs G73SW-A1/G73JW-A1 - Page 5

Hmm... interesting.


Thank you very much!

In many cases the manufacturer provides specific retailers with their own variation of the same basic device. I purchased a netbook for the ole lady a couple of months ago at Sams Club which had a unique part number but was nearly identical to one being sold at Best Buy.

Be aware of this too.. Best Buy has a hidden 15% restock fee on refunds. A friend of mine encountered this problem and basically had to complain to the Better Business Bureau just to get Best Buy to give him a gift card. But you WON"T get your money back. Newegg you will.

+1 to what Angras said. Best Buy is absolutely terrible about refunds. Their "sales representatives" are also often misleading about things.

I would also highly recommend NewEgg over Best Buy.
