    I'm on the market for a new laptop and after alot of looking about was leaning towards the Dell Inspiron 6400 untill I stumbled onto this great place and found alot of others who were also ready to get a 6400 but instead fell in love with the S96J, and well now so have I. Its got the exact specs I want, even the niggling picky things I wanted with its barebone customization (which before I came here didnt even know barebones exisited for laptops). And all for alot less than I expected to have to forkout.

    But here comes my problem. I've been searching as hard as I can all over the net for places to buy it from but I'm in England and can't find any retailers over here selling it, I can only find American and Canadian sellers which while isnt a huge problem is a big nuisance.

    So my Questions. If I'm set on getting a S96J am stuck on buying from abroad or are they actualy for sale over here and I'm just looking in the wrong places?
    Now if I am forced to buy from the US, are there any problems i might encounter? Any compatibility issues that might arise? Nothing springs to my mind that might hinder using a US lappie in the UK other than the ACadaptor.

    Any help very appreciated.

    well, it is not available in the uk.....and i am not sure if it will ever be. you guys have the ensemble a6ja, so i would think that you don't need to have the s96j. the adapter shouldn't be a problem....just need to get an international plug adapter.
