ive been saving up for an asus g75vw for a while ( the 660m version) which costs around $1250 from bestbuy. the 670m version from amazon costs up to $2000.
just recently, bestbuy released a 670m version for only $1250
bestbuy version: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus---17.3%22-Laptop---8GB-Memory---1TB-Hard-Drive---Black/7674057.p?id=1218858193064&skuId=7674057

amazon:http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-G75VW-DS73-3D-17-3-Inch-Laptop-Black/dp/B007RKGJD8
im wondering why the price of the bestbuy version is so low compared to the amazon version even though they have very similar specs (only difference is the extra 4gb of ram on the amazon version). is there something im not noticing about that makes a huge difference in price?

thx

can the asus g75vx run games like crysis 3, bf 3, and arma 3 on max settings? ive heard some ppl say it cant but when some youtube videos show otherwise.
 
VX model from BB: Slightly better CPU (3640QM), smaller HDD (1 TB), a better GPU (GTX 670MX), and has a DVD/RW± optical drive.

So, the VW from Amazon has a slower CPU (3610QM), larger HDD (1.5 TB), less powerful GPU (GTX 670M), a Blu-ray optical drive, and a 3D screen.

TLDR: VX from Best Buy has a better processor and a better graphics card. The VW has a larger hard drive, blu-ray, and 3D screen.
