N61jq-a1 VS N61jq-x1 Can anyone confirm that the difference between two model is hard disk size(a1=500 and x1=320)???Also, is the 1 year warranty a typo? Because at Newegg.com is 2 years.

Usually the X1 versions come with only 1 year warranty while the A1 do come with 2 years, not sure if this is gona be the same case with the N61JQ, aside from that its only the Hdd that i see the difference but $100 its too much if its the only difference, so my guess is also the warranty is also lowered to achieve the $100 difference.

ASUS N61JQ-A1 16-Inch Versatile Entertainment Laptop has a 500gb hdd and 2yr warranty, and is priced higher accordingly. Those are the only differences.The Newegg web page is being updated to reflect 1yr warranty on the N61JQ-X1.Amazon just received stock!

A1 - 2 year warranty 500gb hard drive.x1 - 1 year warranty 320gb hard drive. Both come with 1 year of accidental protection coverage.

I'm sure this is too late for the OP, but wanted to chime in if I may. From what I found/feel, the PA249Q is the true successor of the PA246Q. The most notable difference is that the 248 is not wide gamut, nor 10-bit capable. I'm sure the 248 is nice, as about everything from ASUS is. However to many professionals, this is likely a deal breaker.

I do believe the warranty is one year.However, ensure you buy a laptop with the proper amount of memory you wish to get. I bought the laptop and extra memory to be added to the laptop by myself.However to access the memory slots you must remove a few screws and the back cover which renders your warranty useless.I have added a 3 years coverage as optional coverage with protection against water spills and accidental drop, I think it is worth the cost for sure.Best regardsClement

I spoke with customer service right now and they double checked. Unfortunately there is absolutely no ETA on the item. Is it even possible to get the ASUS U50Vg-B1 model which IS in stock and put a 500GB HDD, the 2.53GHz Intel P8700 Core 2 Duo Processor and the Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) Operating System? I mean.. Thats the only difference between them.. I would assume its possible and would be great if they would since we have been waiting so long for this product. Its about to be a month since its been released.. Help us! lol :(

Thanks for your reply. I think I'll spend the extra $ for the larger hard drive (and better warrenty even though Asus had the best reliability rating of most other laptops so probably won't need it). I am replacing my ancient Toshiba Satellite and think the Asus is a better value.

Newegg says 3 years parts/labor. After searching for an hour I couldn't find this on Seagate's website. You'd think they'd be bragging about it on billboards since practically everyone else is down to 1 year (and wouldn't surprise me if they all got rid of a warranty altogether and made people buy at their own wallet's peril).

M., I just spoke to ASUS and they do NOT recommend an upgrade to the 1000he. They will not get into Mhz that I can use, just simply state "The 1000he comes with 1GB 667Mhz. We do not recommend you upgrade to 2GB or change the Mhz. ANY upgrades to the system will void it's warrenty."Can you give me any argument on this?

Did you manage to upgrade the RAM - I am holding on to my purchase for the same. I am comparing betn Aspire One 533 and 1015PED. Aspire one RAM upgrade is as nightmare as it was with eee pc 1008HA. Wondering what's the scene with this one.Please let us know.

Hi Mauricio...I got the bigger SSD (solid state drive) at 256GB. I'm the type that would rather operate on the side of caution by going with more storage than I need, rather than wishing I had later on. The model or build year per the part number is what Apple calls the "Mid-2012" model (MD23XX series) with my purchase date on Feb. 2013. So being labeled Mid-2012, the "7/2015 Apple Care" is the standard 3 year warranty that most computer companies offer. I know this info only because I have a Lenovo, an HP and a Sony laptop via my employer and all have 3 year warranties. So standard warranty stuff. Incidentally, I'd take my Macbook over any any of those PC laptops I mentioned - hands down!! Hope this helps.

I don't know much about thinkpad x1, but the xps 13 I bought had 256 gb ssd with 8 gb ram, so that's why i bought it. given the same specs, i would buy the more affordable, i guess.

I've had this laptop for 6 months and haven't had a single problem. However, anecdotal evidence is hardly what you need. If people are alleging component failures, it's probably true. Then again, that's what a warranty is for.Unrelated: Cross your fingers that you don't get the Sanforce SSD. I was lucky and got the faster SSD. According to the reviews it makes a huge difference in performance. You won't know which drive you get until you open the box.

Sorry. Don't know. I really like the computer, but the first one I bought had to be retuned because of a defect. So please get a reliable source to let you know if the warranty will still be good.
