    I was as perplexed as you are. near as I can guess it's simply a different product number for sale in canada (this model is not available in the states).

    specs wise they appear to be identical. as well there are less stickers on the chassis if you look at pictures.

    One has an "Anti-Glare" screen and the other has a "Non Reflective" screen.

    are these not the same thing? I think it's simply a case of whoever wrote the description using slightly different wording.

    Its exactly what vesparia103 said. Just like the GT60. In Canada the model number is GT60-002 and in the States it is GT60-004. Same exact laptop, just made for a different country. For example, the box and manuals would have English and French on it for the Canada version, instead for the States its English and Spanish.

    Probably a difference in exchange rate at the times the batches were bought.
