My next purchase
« on: May 28, 2012, 09:04:41 AM »

Will be............ ..............



A new computer. (No it won't be a mac Rosh, keep your pants on.)

This is what I want: http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/asus-g74sx-dh73-3d/4505-3121_7-35024956.html

It goes for around $1800+ from what I've seen. I did find a refurbished one for $1550 but it was sold. SOOOOO I don't wanna spend more that $1600 and I found this: http://windsormallforcomputer.ecrater.com/p/15004751/asus-g74sx-dh73-3d-173-notebook


It SAYS its the same laptop (There are 3 different models of this specific laptop and I want the 3D one) but it is WAY cheap, even for the 2 other lower models.

My question is, If this site is actually selling a different model than what they say, what are the legal obligations they could get into by selling me the wrong laptop? Would I just have to return it?

Fast replies please, cause if this is for real this mother fucker will go fast!

Don't gamble on obligations of an internet store. Never worth it. I would recommend looking elsewhere for the laptop.

I actually own a G73, the previous model of the laptop you want. It's a great laptop, but I hope you understand that the battery life is not as great as a Macbook or smaller laptop. The g73 should me significantly cheaper as well.

Never worth it? its almost $700 less, that seems worth it.

Newegg has an excellent return policy as well, but if you even open the package you cannot return it. At least for laptops that is.

If you're sure it'll work then go for it. See if someone else will post what they think.

I emailed the owner of the site and asked if the product he was selling was unopened and included everything listed the product on this page: http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/asus-g74sx-dh73-3d/4507-3121_7-35024956.html?tag=mncol;subnav

We shall see

I guess I'll agree with you. It's only because there's no dildo that's pre-attached to the computer this time.

Welp, I got pwned. Turned out to be a fraud, I should've gone with my gut. I made sure before I bought it that I would be fully covered by my bank and Visa for fraud tho so ill be getting my money back.

I've been thinking about it and I think I am going to get the G75 instead: http://www.cnet.com/laptops/asus-g75vw-ds72-17/4507-3121_7-35229167.html?tag=mncol%3bsubnav

I wanted the 3D because my projector is 3D compatible so I can only imagine how awesome that will be, however, 3D is a major headache (literally). I just remember watching Avatar at the Imax and being dizzy as fuck.

Does anyone have any experience with 3D gaming? I've heard it takes a lot of getting used to, but i've also heard that once you get used to it its epic. Who the fuck knows tho, it probably causes cancer (hah).

inb4 I told you so from everyone.

I have no experience with 3d gaming outside of the old Nvidia glasses that were total shit.

Imho 3D gaming is harder. Kind of cool at first but more of a gimmick. I'm a COD fiend and playing on my friends 3D TV made the game somewhat confusing with so much going on, and after about 30 minutes I had a headache. But that was about a year ago so things could have changed? I just feel like you'd spend more money for something that is a cool concept but is actually a pain in the ass.

The guy must have felt the heat on his back because my bank account magically had a $1125.00 deposit in it yesterday. That was pretty surprising to say the least. Good thing tho cause I didn't to have to fill out any paperwork for the bank.

Ha so you bought a computer from a random store, got ripped off, he gave you the money back, and now you're buying one from Newegg?
