    I just moved to Canada and wanted to buy a good Asus laptop for under $1000 CD (including Taxes).

    I went to places like Staples, Bestbuy (they dont do Asus in Canada), Canada Computers and a few high street compture shops in Toronto but none of them got any good Asus notebooks and the ones that they got are at least $150 to $250 expensive then US prices EXCLUDING the Sales Tax.

    I even contacted ExCaliberPC people in US and they told me that they will be charging me extra for the Canadian Sales tax, I dont mind but in case of any problem then sending it back to US will be quite expensive.

    Kindly help me to find a good and reliable place in Toronto area (dont mind if its an online store too) from where I can buy a good Asus that got nice Nvidia or AMD graphic card along with some good specs WITH GOOD PRICE TAG and the Asus's usual 2 year warranty.

    Guys help me please.

    brick and mortar, not much (if any) choice. online, ncix has my vote.
    good luck finding a decent (240m+ or 4670+) gpu for under 1k.

    Check out memoryexpress.com

    its a Calgary based store
    they ship it to you they have multiple locations; even 1 in Winnipeg I think
    I've shopped with them multiple times, good prices and they price match anything you'll find online.
