What's the difference between the "Business" & "Retail" versions? (Besides the price)

So far as I could tell, it's having the ability to click right and left with the scroll wheel. Frankly, it's not that useful. Your call.

It comes with both versions they let you decide which one you rather. Although its not a physical copy, its a software download, but it works fine. Its been great for me hope it stays that way :)

Like the others, I'm not sure either. I posed that question to an Asus rep on a chat session and he said they were identical, including the bundled Office. I bought a C2 version to test for compatibility with some online content, then bought quite a few more for our college after the tablet passed the test. The others were the C1 version and they had Office too with the same warranty. Packaging and included accessories also appeared the same. As the others have pointed out, there seemed to be a price difference at the retail level, but what did the extra price pay for?In any case, so far they seem to be a great value - either version.

They are the same thing. We sell our for $29 currently. Different sellers, different situations. They could have a better deal for being a bigger store.

I am looking into this also. Overall, I read most people don't have too much of a problem. I also found that if you order this same model online at Fry's and Sears, they are the same price right now, but you get an option to pick it up yourself. I know people are a little lazy these days, but you can return things easier. And there will still be stores (not bankrupt) still open to actually look at items instead of reading reviews. A better deal is an instore Fry's promo deal (not on their website) for LN40B750 for 1299.00 which is even better and end this Thursday. Fry's is a west coast electronic stores that is like BB.

Buy the cheaper one, it's the same product. The difference might be that one product is aimed for the consumer market and the other at the commercial market.

No, there is no difference. Best Buy is the only one of our retailers that sells this system.

The only real difference is the packaging. The "business" model comes in a shorter, heavier box and has a bunch of "upsell" fliers and junk. It may have an instruction book as well. I also noticed that when I went to check out (as a Prime member) there was as difference in shipping times. Ordering on a Thursday, the business model said it would arrive the next day (Friday), but the home version not until Monday.

You meant to ask, if it is1- OEM for builders2- Retail VersionAnswer is "1" the OEM Retail versions are bought only to attain some pathetic and useless Microsoft support incident.

I have not purchased the other. The description appears the same though. I also saw this version for $29.99 with free shipping.

most likely the Acad is the Academic version and just like academic licenses for software, you get them cheaper than retail and its the same exact software, just at a student discount. However, you will need to be a student with proof to purchase from most sellers. I say most because legit places like Amazon will require it but a lot of sellers on ebay sell academic stuff to anyone. So basically, if you are a student get the Acad version because it will be the same and save you money.

I really don't know the difference, but what I bought works fine, and I have not had any problems. If ever there is added software, just delete the installation program after you have it running, but keep the disc in case of any failures or having to reinstall.

The regular retail Professional license is a product that non-edu students can buy. Professional Academic is for edu students on a budget, and I believe they need to provide valid identification to buy it. It lacks some information rights management tools use by enterprises but its identical in every way else. You can order a backup disc for it at the following link: http://www.microsoft.com/office/backup/en-us/default.mspx

I guess that's where I am. If there's a MASSIVE difference in price for essentially the same item, I'll go for the less expensive version. If we're talking about $20 - $30 difference on a $~300 item, I'll go for the name.

There is no difference, these are being sold by people who hope to get more for their product. Some charge a bargain price some don't. Just like in competing stores, the same thing goes on here at Amazon as well as places like Ebay on the internet.
