I started a discussion on another string about this topic. Best Buy's is a UL50AG-RBBBK05. Boes BBB stand for Best Buy? Anyway, Cnet reviewed this model and liked it except for its speed, which strikes me as geek-head complaint. As the last poster said, the RBBBK has a DVD/CD drive, which is essential, and is a very nice machine, but too large for me. Does anybody know if ASUS makes the exact same machine with all the same specs but just in a smaller (13.3) size, WITH CD/DVD drive? Sony has one, but way more expensive and no HDMI. Advice?

Best Buy has a bigger hard drive however there's only comes with a 1-yr warranty, not the typical 2-yr Asus warranty that comes with the Amazon model. Therefore you would have to spend an additional $250 (2yr) to $300 (3yr) for the Best Buy warranty. In addition to that, Best Buy will charge you tax whereas Amazon does not. I just purchased this model from Amazon and also got $100 gift card, making the total purchase price $620 (minus the $100 for the gift card). Overall, that saved me about $350 off of the Best Buy price if you include the warranty. Hope that answers your question.

I think if you can find the HD at a decent price I'd go with it. I got mine (Ultra HD) at Best Buy on sale for $169.99 plus I had $10 dollars in rewards coupons, so $159.99. I think there is about a $50 +/- difference in the two. I love the video on the HD, but I've seen two Ultra video reviews that look pretty darn good in quality. I'm thinking of getting my son the Ultra non HD for Christmas, just because he will trash it quick and why spend the extra $$$.

Best Buy has it for pre-order at $250. I placed my order this morning. I had heard $250 for the SlingCatcher and $400 for the Slingbox Pro-HD back at CES 2008. Then both were announced recently to be $300. Hopefully BB honors my pre-order at $250, but even at $300 I'll take it. For quality purposes I am using cat-6 cable anyway and wouldn't want Wi-Fi.EDIT - as of earlier this week, BB increased the pre-order price to $300. I have yet to receive any notice of a price change on my order, so hopefully you jumped on it early like I did and saved yourself $50 (assuming that BB still honors my preorder price) Best Buy has it for pre-order at $250.

The price is now down to $95. Even $95 seems too high a price to pay considering the possibility of future data loss. Amazon hiked its price up - probably to encourage sales and boost confidence. But the negative reviews keep growing. I have decided against buying this drive. Take a look at the alternatives discussed in the comments section here: http://estrip.org/articles/tinypliny/47862.html(Click on the comment bubble to see the comments.)

Because it's sold by a third party and fulfilled by Amazon. People will try to charge to much because it is demand. I suggest waiting because eventually they will get more in stock at the lower price. I would say check other retailers also.

In Best Buy the 2TB is $119.99 -- on Amazon it's $149.99.Amazon is slipping.

I just looked this tablet up yesterday 12/30/14 and the price was $249.00 new. I put it in my cart to purchase today 12/31/14 and now its $269.00!. In the meantime I was doing some research and found the same tablet at several locations locally for $249.00 My question is why the increase and second looks like I'm going to purchase locally! What a bummer for Amazon.

Its strange...I bought this computer at Best Buy - 3 weeks ago (4/14) for $599...its now $749 there and at Amazon.com, the price has always been this high. Thought Amazon would be the less expensive route - guess I was wrong. The computer is great for my needs, though.

highest GB I have seen selling on amazon is 350GB. not seen a 500 on amazon.

I don't know, but the price at Amazon jumped from $91.99 on 2-27-15 to $96.99 on 3-1-15. I bought at Best Buy on 2-26-15 for $51.99. Was not in stock, but they ordered from warehouse. Will pick up on 3-3-15. Exact same model.

yup, i guess they increased the price since its only newegg and amazon that has this laptop, plus amazon takes "2 to 4 weeks" to ship, so newegg took that as an opportunity to make some extra profit ( bastards)i cant afford to wait that long tho :(amazon might end up getting my extra $50... sigh...although... a friend of mine placed an order for this laptop from amazon... two weeks ago.. and he got it last week friday...so i guess it could take a lesser time than amazon claims it would.

Not sure what Amazon's price was before with freebies, but I gather its price (compared with others on the Amazon site) reflects that the freebies aren't really free. On the 24th Sony Style store was selling it in store for 2200 with free financing options. Not sure about today.

Googled the model number and on sites such as bestbuy, walmart, and cnet the descriptions say it does have 20gb of SSD. likewise, there's a similar product on Amazon with a different model number that i have compared to and i couldnt find any difference to find out why it cost $100 more. I am hoping this model is everything other websites say it is.
1847911
I don't believe there is any difference. The cheaper price is probably due to the high sales volume Amazon generates for them.

yes, I do understand, but there are others online web store that willing to sell around 1,000 too.I just want to buy it from Amazon, but if it still nothing soon. I'll order from another web.One thing that I don't understand that, why others store have it but Amazon doesn't?

I have this computer; the Lenovo S10. I enjoy it very much. But this is not a new machine, and shouldn't be something you are waiting to receive. I would suggest that you cancel your order and order again through another supplier. It's there on newegg.com for the same price and free shipping.If you can get by with a HDD of 80 Gb, you can even save some money. If you order the model with 512 Mb of RAM, or even 1Gb, it's easily upgraded to the maximum of 2 Gb by investing an additional $20 in a 2Gb RAM stick. Installing it takes under 5 minutes.Finally, if money is not an issue, and you would like something similar with a 6-cell battery, take a look at the Samsung NC-10.

Probably because they purchased it for under $100. If you notice amazon prices fluctuate daily. For example today (01/06/2014) the price is 97.82+ shipping.
