    I want this laptop bad, but when is it going to get here?

    Or is it even coming to the US?

    Thanks!

    ivan from portable one mentioned something about the a8jm not being bound for the u.s. and having to pay extra for it for their mx series....if you want to get the a8jm, i would suggest you just purchase the mx from portable one. it will come out to $1550 or $1600 with bluetooth.

    Apparently the A8J will not be sold in the U.S. at the present time. They even went so far as to ship some to N.A. only to pull them back. We'll see if that changes, but for now it's a no go.

    I ordered mine recently from NCIX. They're a Canadian retailer, but they'll ship to USA. Ordered mine when they were in stock, and now it seems they're out of stock, to the point where they can't fill my order :/
