    I know there are a lot of sites where you can customise a G73JW-3DE in the USA, but i havent found one in canada, they all sell pre-customized models. I dont want to buy from any american site because they will charge me crazy tax once the laptop gets here. Does anybody know any canadian dealer that allow you to customise your laptop and ships from Canada?

    Thanks

    Buying from Canada is more expensive in the long run. Dollars are nearly on par atm, so buying US is a wiser choice.

    I personally bought mine from GenTech.

    Parity isn't the problem, they like to screw us with a ton of taxes at the border.

    exactly...especially those pesky delivery fees like UPS always charge you...on a 60$ delivery from the US, we end up paying 40$ more at the door...i hate buying from the US unless they ship via USPS, which most companies don't do. So you pay for shipping but end up paying mad brokage fees + a bunch of other BS fees when you receive the item. Anyways, companies have adjusted their prices in canada...on consumer electronics, we have almost always equivalent prices than americans.

    Extreme-pc will get them in, if they don't have them on your website, call them and they'll get you one.
