    Thank you for the review!

    Also I would like to give you a public thank you for the great customer service you provided me with the purchase of this laptop. I know you spent quite a bit of time and effort with the shipping details and it is greatly appreciated. UPS has confirmed that it will be arriving the day we had planned/hoped it would arrive on.

    Thanks, that was a great review. Did you get the wifi working for the express gate browser?

    Silly question, but curious (not incredibly important, but if you could answer it I would appreciate it).

    Do you sell to anyone living in the State of California?

    If so, do you charge tax according to where you are shipping it to, or do you charge tax at all? Just curious. (I would check the video, but I'm on an iMac from 2005 that isn't mine....)

    we are based in NY. We do not charge tax outside of NY. Same applies to any other vendor. they do not charge tax outside the state they are based out of. A nexus state is a state where a vendor has a shipping or warehousing facility. We dont have any outside NY but some do. Newegg for example does have a main location in CA and 2 other nexus locations so they charge tax in 3 out of 50 states

    Ah! I see. Thank you very much for answering my question (Sorry, I don't use much else but forums, I check email once in a blue moon). I might be able to get an Asus M50Vm-B1 then! I wasn't sure, because it seems most sales places are in California. @_@ (I can't buy it quite yet, but within a month I should have enough.)

    Yeah, I have been doing my research on what kinds of companies do charge tax upon ordering, and I did notice that Newegg had, so that's why I had not considered it an option for me.

    I had a question, relating this laptop and mostly your shipping. I want to buy one of these laptops but need it in my hands by the latest on Tuesday (by Monday it'd be awesome, but unlikely, i'm sure). I live in Miami, FL, and wanted to know what shipping option should I use to ensure I get it by the latest on Tuesday? Feel free to send me a PM or email me at [email protected].

    I should answer promptly. Thanks.

    Resellers don't answer sales/shipping questions on the forum - you should pm or email Eddie at BTOTech directly.

    Must have skipped the "I live in Miami, FL, and wanted to know what shipping option should I use to ensure I get it by the latest on Tuesday?" part of the post. Instead you humor my post, very professional. Thanks anyway.

    I am not sure but assuming that it will be shipped on Monday, the "next day air" may deliver on Tuesday...

    I wouldn't know, I first got told to shut it on the sales questions, regardless of the fact that someone else had posted a sales-related question and was told nothing. Then the reseller tries to be funny when a simple "PM me" or "If you bought it on Monday"or anything outside of a stupid reply had been posted.

    If only people had common sense.

    I have couple small questions... I live in NJ, 07866 zip code, how much would the shipping charges be? Also what type of battery do you include in the package? I was hoping to buy with the 9 cell battery. Also most places are selling it with a traveling bag and mouse are those included?

    Thanks man. :) Sorry for the trouble.

    Why don't you both just go visit the company's website. There, you can configure the machine you want and get a quote for shipping. It's not that difficult.
