    Simple question.

    Is there ANY way to get a 3810TG (specifically the 944G50n config with an SU9400 and the ATI discrete graphics) in the USA short of me driving to Canada or flying to the UK and bringing one back here?! I don't know anyone in the UK who can buy it and ship it to me.

    Why do they curse us with the 4500 integrated graphics!!

    The 3810T in America is EXACTLY what I need, except it lacks the ATI4330. There is NO OTHER notebook in America that pairs a CULV C2Duo with discrete graphics. The MSI X600 has ATI graphics but is a C2Solo, and it's rather big for me.

    Is there ANY WAY?! All the UK vendors I've found on Amazon and Ebay and just by googling do NOT ship the US. Unless I overlooked them.

    The places where I found UK prices range from 1320-1510 USD. A bit of a price hike to just add the ATI graphics, the same model minus the graphics goes from 800-850 here, or no more than 515 gbp... I'm not sure the discrete graphics are worth an additional 500 to 700 dollars.. for 1500 I would just jump up to a P series processor and nvidia GT mobile graphics... will this model ever be available in the US at competitive prices? I can wait, or I can drop the idea and go with integrated graphics and not be able to play new RTS games on my laptop, or spend more...
