Don't know for sure. Could be because Consumer Reports came out last week and listed the 7200 as their absolute TOP HTIB. I bought mine last week at Newegg.com. Got it for $699.99\Free Shipping. I don't know what their price is currently, but they are very professional, shipped it the day I ordered it, and the shipping was UPS 3 Day Ground. I like Amazon, but their pricing has gotten very sketchy. I've also noticed 1 day Amazon handles the selling and shipping of the 7200, and the following day a vendor like 6Ave is doing the selling and shipping of the 7200 thru Amazon. Check around before plunking your $$$$ down. Don't know for sure. Could be because Consumer Reports came out last week and listed the 7200 as their absolute TOP HTIB.

I agreed I usally order from newegg. I thought I would give amazon a try, but it seems like they take forever. I dont' think I will buy from amazon again. unless they have some crazy low price.

Does any one know if there's really a big difference with the spec difference of this laptop between amazon and newegg? I WANT THIS LAPTOP by at least the beginning of February! If this sweet baby doesn't come in stock by the middle of January I will`buy it from Newegg before they go out of stock too! And what's with their extra 50 bucks anyway?! Come on AMAZON work with me here! WORK WITH ME!

It's definitely overpriced. Buyers shouldn't reward sellers who gouge. As it were, Best Buy online currently has the 16gb model for sale at the MSRP of $399. Why anyone would may this kind of markup is beyond me. ASUS will be ramping up production soon enough to meet demand. A little patience will save a significant chunk of change.

I chatted with Amazon, and they said there was no definite date on when they'd actually receive this product. ExcaliberPC hasn't really been monkeying with the prices per say. At one point, they were informed by ASUS that the price was going to be $549.99, but the price was then announced back at $499.99. So they made that adjustment accordingly, only they still kept the list price at $549.99 and took the $50 off as a "discount". Yeah, shameful marketing move but the bottom line is that it's going at the MSRP and they do indeed have it in stock. I bit on ordering it from there rather than waiting on Amazon. The product has already shipped, so if you don't feel like waiting on Amazon or another more known vendor, I'd say that ExcaliberPC.com is the best source for this product.

yeh i spoke with amazon today and they said there is no update on shipping dates. they "dont know when they will receive the product". i emailed josh at asus and he said "Hi there, They have received their shipments I believe so it should be very soon." Whats up with amazon? i woulda paid the $399 + shipping elsewhere if i knew amazon was going to be lagging.

Well, MSI still has it (3-cell) as $479.99 on their page. https://shop.msicomputer.com/App/StoreFront/ProductDetail.aspx?ID=1218I guess I can hold out for the 6-cell version.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I have asked endless retailers on ebay -all of which directed me to asus which is quite difficult to get thru to with a tech question if you're not registered as an owner! this info is GREATLY appreciated!

Edward,You're very welcome. I ordered it straightly from Amazon one week and a half ago when it was $949. General impression about it - I love it! It is super fast. My previous laptop was based on Core 2 Duo (2 GB RAM) and the difference in speed is very noticeable.

Yes it is a good upgrade it is vastly better then the gpu in the consoles, which have a better gpu then a 500 series gtx card. Is it a good upgrade for the high price? Hell no. I bought this for 615 including tax. I have no idea why its 800 or higher now.

Amazon does not always have the best price... I have watched the price on this item for a while. FYI, if you live near a microcenter, they have this laptop for $1199 - $200 (instant savings) = $999.... Its an in-store only special, but you can find more info on their website http://microcenter.com ... I have e-mailed Amazon to see if they would lower their price, but I am still waiting for a response... I also would prefer to buy from Amazon to use "prime".

I purchased 2 of them for $69.00 a piece at my local computer store "Generation D" ...Sounds like that supplier ripped you off at $300.00 ea. Try to get your money refunded if you can from those jerks.

1 GB GDDR5. For $25 more, you may want to consider the new GTX 750 Ti that just came out, or the GTX 650 Ti Boost, as they are likely to play every game you buy on max settings.But if this is what fits in your budget, it's a very nice video card that overclocks well. Have mine overclocked to 1300 MHz and it runs almost every game I have on it's highest video settings (on a 1920x1080 monitor). The only one I can't play on Ultimate is Tomb Raider, the cut scenes lag. Plays very nice on Ultra though, and I don't think I miss out on many textures at that point. Owned this card for over a year, no issues. 1 GB GDDR5.

= ( .. I wish the price would fall back down to $899. Or even better, go on sale like the other asus laptops on Amazon.

i can understand if they tacked a little on to cover shipping. but tax should not be included in the price because amazon does not charge taxes to states that they do not have a physical location in. if they lowered the price by $15 then i would pick it up here instead of from newegg because i would still save a little money. as is i will stick with newegg because i have rarely had any problems and the problems i did have were resolved very quickly by newegg customer service.

It can also be purchased through EVGA with the same price, promotion, and the same rebate. Only, EVGA will charge $4.99 for shipping. If Amazon does not offer this promotion, clearly it's best to purchase elsewhere. I have already been stung once by Amazon on a promotional game that they would not issue the game code. Oct. 4, I purchased a EVGA GTX 680 Classified that came with Borderlands 2. They would not issue the code saying that I got the game with a previous GTX 680 purchase. The terms and conditions on GeForce.com say that the game code comes with the purchase of each graphics card, not one per household as Amazon states.
