Acer 3820TG with an ATI 5650 - how to import to UK

ok im thinking about getting the Acer 3820TG with an ATI 5650 which isnt sold in the UK,

Acer Aspire TimelineX 3820TG-5454G64nks - Notebooks - computeruniverse.net

1st is this a good reliable retailer and is there cheaper options? secondly is there a UK keyboard, and thirdly warranty, can i get on sight warranty from acer somehow?

cheers

 

I bought mine there. They were great. The 3810T or TG keyboard fits the 3820TG. See if you can find a UK model on ebay. I would also check to see if Acer UK has a replacement for the 3820TG, the HD5470 is sold there. You will have to ship back to Germany for warranty work in all probability.

 

i cant understand why they are not sold in UK , will they be comming soon?

 

i cant understand why they arent in North America either.. its like they hate us

 

Acer obviously can't meet demand for the TimelineX models. The initial product "roll-out" did not make a lot of sense. Somebody decided that the US market needed the 4820TG, not the 3820TG. As far as I can see, only the German retailers have any kind of diversity in the models they have access to. Maybe the Singaporians as well.

At this point, I doubt that we will see the models doing anything but refreshing. I would not expect to see the 3820TG in the US anytime soon. The question is "will the new fusion and Sandy bridge CPU/GPU combos be incorporated into the TimelineX Brand or will we be looking at, yet another design that the company can't catch up with in Q1."
