Any better gaming laptop than the asus g73jh price/performance?

[OILFIELDTRASH]

If there is I can't find one. Best I've found is the asus g73jh at Bestbuy for $1199. Not even on sale that's regular price. How come newegg or amazon with much lower operating costs can't beat that? Thinking of just getting one at bestbuy. Should I wait? Is any price drops coming in the forseeable future? Do these ever go on sale?

$1200? That's an amazing price for the hardware you get IMO.

Yeah, I saw that model at a Best Buy yesterday and was quite impressed with it.

1) Cheap BB model has a shitty screen
2) ATI card is shit

I owned a G73 for about 3 days. It wouldn't stop crashing in games. I loled at myself for buying another ATI driver product.

Best Buy has a 1600x900 screen compared to an 1920x1080 standard on the line.

Best Buy charges tax which for me (9.75&#37 comes out to an extra $117.

Amazon is the full fledged version for $1500 with free 2 day shipping no tax. Can't beat that.

Also with Amazon you can pick whether you want the ATI (faster but hotter) or the nVidia card (a bit slower but much cooler)
