    I'm looking to buy the S96J notebook and would like to find a reputable reseller that ships to Canada. The place most recommend when buying a S96J is Geared2Play but they don't ship to Canada. I see that IBuyPower.com offers it and ships to Canada but at resellerratings.com they have quite a poor rating.

    Any suggestions would be great.

    I don't know of anyone in Canada who has the S96J's available yet.

    That said, Milestonepc ( www.milestonepc.com) is on these boards all the time, and many people have said great things about them. They usually get Asus notebooks before most places in Canada (if not all).

    I also buy many parts from www.ncix.com . They've been good to me for a long time. They also carry most Asus notebooks.

    How much extra would you charge to upgrade the HD to 7200 RPM, and the ram to 2 GB?

    Thanks!
