ASUS G53SW-A1 Review Discussion

I'm about to pick this thing up, there's one 21 miles away

Are the warranty on Asus laptops bought from Fry's come with the excellent Asus warranty, or is it similar to Best Buy where they want you to buy their crappy Geek Squad service?

899 is really a good deal, same question about the frys' service.

It sounds a good deal, but I am not familiar with frys. So same question, how is their service?

just picked this up at Fry's. It does indeed come with 2 year and 1 year accidental.

Of course the girl working there still asked me if I wanted to purchase an extended warranty lol

Where ever you buy from make sure you get the salesmans name and mention the crappy pin on the power supply socket the charger plugs into, you'll be back in 3-4 months to complain...design defect, too much stress on the pin
