[Quiet Man Cometh]

Just the difference in price between the Scar and the Hero made me think there was something particular about it.

Went with the Hero Edition ROG Strix. There's about to be a big hole in my bank account now, but I'm pretty okay with it. (The purchase, not the hole. That will have to be fixed by the end of the year.) Ordered it through Newegg, which is a Canadian online distributor that apparently my brother has dealt with before. I bought this laptop from NCIX which went belly-up not too long ago. The Amazon link from Asus itself seemed to be for a different computer and we didn't trust it. Too many RoG's with similar number strings.

All in, unit, shipping, and taxes puts it at $2200, which is the same price I paid for my current one. Minus the keyboard issue that I had to ship this thing out for, my Stealth has been pretty good. Not sure if the new ones are of the same quality though, from what my stepbrother is telling me. He's the one who helped me find this.

Now comes the task of cleaning up this thing for my sister's birthday. She already knows she's getting it, but I'm going to put a bow on it anyway. ;)
