Hey I'll add this food for thought regarding Best Buy editions for products:

Be aware that Best Buy similar models (to one you'd find elsewhere) generally are slightly cheaper for a reason. I found that Best Buy contracts with the manufacturing company to skimp somewhere so they can buy the product and sell it cheaper than a similar model found at like newegg. Usually what I'd find is a slightly smaller HDD, but sometimes it was memory (less ), and if those are identicle - you will always find a decrease in manufacturer warranty at Best Buy. Asus standard warranty is 2 years whereas the Best Buy warranty is 1 year.

Personally, I'd buy the product elsewhere than Best Buy for that warranty reason alone. Shop around for sure. gl
