    Where are you located?

    What are you going to be using it to do?

    Can we assume that you have studied the specifications for each laptop so you know the differences in the features and configuration? If so, can you please be more specific about what differences you are asking about?

    In the US, either ZipZoomFly or PortableOne, where it's rebranded as their MX series.

    A8Jm was a Canadian model only, it was withdrawn from the US market by Asus NA. Only US retailers to have it are as Darrick has noted - PortableOne imports theirs from Canada, so there is a premium to their pricing.

    PortableOne has awesome customer service. You won't be able to return it at ZZF.
