"Just getting the warning out there about the 3rd party sellers on Amazon."
When I bought my ASUS GL12CX a bit over a year ago I bought it from the ASUS store. Everything I was finding online at stores were older models, over priced or rip-offs. Many models they do not sell at their store.

On your model when your looking at ASUS website and you click on the "where to buy" button, only Best Buy comes up.
