    The cheaper Canadian dollar? (77.6 cents for 1 American dollar atm)

    Also, I may be wrong but I believe you also have to factor in border charges when getting the laptop from Canada to the US and vice versa, so that drives up the cost. I may be wrong however.

    Does any1 know about a boarder coast that would equalize the prices???
    If their are no boarder coast besides customs i might buy from Canada. I would be able to get a better laptop for the same amount that i would of spent for a lesser lappy here in the usa. Or i could get that same lappy for almost $300 dollars less From a Canadian store , so any info from some1 who has experience buying from canada would be appreciated.
