    Hi folks,

    I've been reading a lot about the Asus G1 laptop. It's the laptop I've been dreaming about! 15" size, not that heavy, powerful graphics, cool looking, best price/performance ratio, etc...

    So after studying my options, I made my mind and decided to go for a G1 but I need some recommendations on where to buy.

    The thing is that I live in Tijuana Mexico but work both sides of the border (San Diego, CA) and I can use my US business address for the delivery but would like to know which is the best online Asus retailer that can accept International Credit Cards.

    Any ideas/recommendations?

    TIA!

    If you find any one that accepts international credit cards, I'll be surprised.... There's too much fraud internationally, so a wire transfer or money iis typical for a situation like this.
