    Well, most of you have seen my previous threads about me not being able to buy online, so I have a concern. I am currently living in Canada, Vancouver BC.. and well I have a question, where do I buy this laptop from a store? I cannot buy online, so PLEASE answer my question... and if I can't buy it from a store, can someone direct me to a labtop SIMILAR to these specs?

    Thanks,
    Adam

    You might contact this guy....this posting was taken from page 90 of the M50 Owners Lounge:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Hey Guys/Gals,

    I am selling my M50SV-A1 I bought it a month ago from Gentech. As my office will be giving me a new laptop that is the reason I am selling it. It has all the accessories that came with it along with the XP and Vista Cds and has a notebook sleeve designed by waterfield design that I purchased seperately and also comes with the Zalman 2000B cooler (Black).

    Here is the website for the sleeve www.sfbags.com

    If anyone is intrested please email me at [email protected]

    Thanks

    Ed

    Well, I just searched up in best buy and found the Asus M50SV but just with 2 GB RAM, so I think I'll just upgrade the RAM.

    Keep in mind that Best Buy sells a watered down version of any Asus laptops. They will have lower specs, screen res, hard drive and/or a slower CPU.
