QUOTE(riku2replica @ Jul 20 2010, 05:06 PM) My method of payment will be most likely credit card or ask relative buy in states and bring it back. Wire transfer sounds troublesome to me.  Most people actually suggest wire transfer, only in my case i dont know wt went wrong, it took 6 business days...

You will not get the 3% discount if you use credit card. The discount is about USD 50. My transfer cleared within 2 business days QUOTE(viruz019 @ Jul 21 2010, 01:30 AM) want to ask.. the G73..for a 17" is it heavy? or does it feel more like a 15"? No way it weights like a 15". It's heavy and if you have a small frame a fully loaded backpack with accessories will literally kill you

I bought an A2 version which cost me 1549 USD + 149 USD for the delivery fee. As for the transaction, I use my PayPal. Thus, no charges from bank.  However, I did not get the 3% discount.
