Canada -- Location Help

Hello,


I am in the market for a laptop and have read the reviews here and i dont think ill be getting a dell/toshiba/hp..... ASUS ... now i saw the links where to get it but thats in the us and well im skeptical about buying it on the internet especially with that much money....


anyone know where i might find a Asus Z70v around kitchener / waterloo / cambridge / mississauga?

Thanks For all the help :asus:

 

I think there is a CanadaSys near Missisauga, check the retailers on asus's site.

i HIGHLY highly sugget Canadasys. There's a location in North York, which is a 25 minute drive for me from Mississauga. Good luck.

 

Any locations in Montreal that sell a W3V?

Want to get one before/when I start university...

 

Anyone ever dealt with or heard anything from a place called

Lu Computers on Leslie in toronto?


Thanks

 

Thanks I know where that is in markham used to drive to canada computers store in the mall down the street.... Priced a laptop ... good price.... are they good tho quality wise?

:: EDIT ::

I dont know if i can trust a company that puts pirated software to save money.... doesnt give me much confidence about their products... I am kind of skeptical about ordering online but i have heard good things from ISTNC so i might go that way since i am a student I wonder how much shipping and import fees are.... anyone care to share?

 

Yea, but it seems that was only their North York Location, I mean, honestly, form the outside, It DOES look quite shady

The Markham location looks, and in terms of customer service and price, a very good improvement.

Also, I think they probrably learned by now..

 

yea the markham would be the one i go to .... but i narrowed it down to 4 places

Lu Computers
CanadaSys
c9tech
ISTNC ( i think thats it )

WOuld anyone be able to put it in the order they would go with?

 

Isnt both ISTNC and c9tech in the US?

 

yea but the amout i would pay in tax 15% kinda makes more then the exchange to us + shipping

 

True, but if there's a problem, you'll have to ship it back, instead of just driving to the store and give them a piece of your mind

I'm not sure, but what about customs? I've heard that anything over $20 in value or issued as not a gift gets hit hard. If you issue it as a gift, or something, you don't get insurance on it?

Hmmm, I'd like to know myself, I'm eBay'ing pretty frequently now, so far no customs, but then again, nothing has been over $20 CDN before shipping yet

 

I categorized all the resellers on the "where to buy" page on Asus' website by location (US state and Canadian province). If you're interested, you can see the full list here: http://www.notebookforums.com/showthread.php?t=94364

 

I have seen that djembe.... thats where i found these companies

How much would import fee be? (anyone have a clue)

what if the store isnt around in 3 years... the 2 in the area that i was looking at is

CanadaSys and Lu Computers

I found Lu Computers on ebay and they have perfect score... but i have not found anyone talking about them in the forums and well CanadaSys i donno :| they are a tad cheaper but i would rather get a safe peace of mind im still stuck between the 2 in my area if import costs are tooooooooo much

thanks

 

I've been doing the same types of research recently and came across this link, giving reviews of all the Toronto computer stores.

http://www.torontopcstores.com/

Specific to Canadasys:

Another dealer I found that sell Asus is Canada Computers and Electronics:

http://www.torontopcstores.com/index.php?board=16

I guess these stores aren't really known for their customer support.

 

Thanks for that link it looks like the markham location of canadasys is pretty good... ill have to check it out one day
