    I think the best way is to have a friend or family member in the US ship it to him.

    I doubt anyone in North Korea can afford an AW and even if they could, it would never pass customs :p

    Why is that? They have very high tax for notebook? Or...

    I think Alienware UK ship internationally but their prices are ridiculous.

    Laptops, cell phones and probably other technologies we take for granted in the US and other developed countries are illegal in North Korea.

    International shipping is done by alienware UK. But be ready to pay hefty shipping costs, not to mention international taxes as well
