    Afternoon all, looking into buying an S96J - awesome spec, insanely cheap - but i can't find any shops online that sell in or to the UK. If anyone can point me in the direction of somwhere that does i'd be extremely grateful, it's so frustrating to see your ideal laptop but not be able to buy it!

    Cheers in advance!

    The S96J is available here, BUT its not cheap and its cheaper to buy something else like the F3Ja which is pretty decent but has all the Asus extras like 2 year warranty etc. Check it out here. If you dont like the new Core Duos with 533 FSB then the old A6Ja has the proper 667 FSB here.

    Remember if buying a build to order from abroad, re warranty, you will have to ship back to the reailter.

    Also remember any VAT and import duties should be added into the final price.
