    I plan on takeing a road trip from Chicago to the Greater Toronto Area. I have thought about getting the W3J, but would like to see the actual machine before buying and also compare it to the A8J or the W7J.

    Also i know canada has high taxes, but what % is the tax rate if i buy a laptop from a store in toronto?

    Try MilestonePC ...

    tax is 14% total, but I think you can get GST(7%) refund if you're from outside Canada .. .just need to get it stamped proof of export at the border...

    All these models we have on display in our markham store, if you still like, after the trip you can order from our California office, no tax for you.
