LEGIN27, what price do you see? It says to login to see price, but I did, and the price or option to purchase doesn't show... it says $100 off, but off of what?

Oh...my oops. The ASUS G750JS-RS71 is $1,299.99 (free shipping). I bought mine from COSTCO as well for $1,399.99 and received it a little over a week ago. You know I got a price adjustment for $100.00 and now I'm adding on the SQUARE TRADE warranty $99.99 3yrs I break or damage the laptop they fix or pay for a replacement. This warranty is a $300.00 value directly from their SQUARE TRADE website. You gotta love COSTCO.

LEGIN27, sweet, great price!

Costco is awesome.

Thanks for the heads up!

No problem....AMAZON wants at least $1500 for the same laptop and have gone up in some case on the G750JM model to $1399.99 so...I hope this helps.

Thanks! I just picked it up. It is pretty awesome. But def need the SSD. The only thing about it I don't like much is the screen.
I had a sager np8278s next to me to compare. And wow the sound is better on the asus.
Only thing is cooling, I was just wondering if this model has a turn on fan option?
Otherwise,great laptop. On par with the sager np8278s.

Also picked up a ASUS/TARGUS ROG backpack $38.00 (EBAY, Great deal and no fake either bag comes in Targus plastic packaging with ASUS product code. Oh and pssst, all Targus bags are made in China).





I have been overall impressed coming from a SONY 17.3 laptop with the ASUS G750JS. I have had my own chance to judge the build quality and performance of this laptop and it's so far been the best overall computer I've ever owned. Many of the complaints I've read about i.e the screen, battery life, portability, only matter to me if your comparing the ASUS G750 to another comparable laptop which in my observation, no other high end gaming equips their machines with what you get in the G750JS for the price.
