OH and would also like if anyone knew where the best place to order one is? Thx everyone! 😉
Pick a place that has a generous return policy. You want at least two weeks (preferably more) to fully evaluate the machine, and a retailer that will take it back, no-questions-asked, anytime within that period.
There are a few known hardware issues that show up in a small proportion of G74s, and rather than try to fix them or exercise the warranty on your brand new computer, you want to just return it and get a trouble-free unit.
Amazon has great policies, but I'm sure there are others who offer similar terms. (Note that some retailers don't qualify for the Asus warranty "extra" features, so be aware of that if it's important to you.)
