I ordered a ASUS G75VW-DS72 from xoticpc two weeks ago (no customizations) because the NS72 from newegg was deactivated. Now I'm considering cancelling my order with xotic pc to get it.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230409

Other than the processor Im not sure there is any other difference between the two NS72 and DS72
I hear the 3720 runs hotter than the 3610 and it is bad though, is that true?

Also Im a little tired of waiting so long for my machine to ship from xotic... anyone know if the NS72 from newegg comes with the same manufacturer warranty as listed on xotic: http://promos.asus.com/US/event/ASUS360/index.html
Did anyone else buy the NS72 from newegg?

The ASUS G75VW-DS72 from xoticpc w/ i7-3720QM is the same as the NS72 now offered by Newegg. But currently the price on Newegg is $2100 and when I checked price for customized DS72 on xoticpc it was over $2300+.
Better to get the one from Newegg and used the money saved to buy an
extended warranty or use it to upgrade RAM to 32MB. I think both vendors
only provide basic warranty for 15 days? The primary 2yr warranty is handled
by Asus. And you can purchase extended warranty from vendors or from
Square Trade.
