    Hi,
    I'm from singapore and recently came upon the p7811 fx laptop which has awesome specs for its price (around SGD 2.2k). Major problem is that this laptop is unavailable for purchase in my country (No bestbuy). I've checked bestbuy and it doesn't seem if they import over to singapore. Maybe i missed something but i'm not too sure. Could anyone help give me some ideas on how to import this laptop? Thanks in advance :p

    Im a expat I work in Singapore 6weeks on 2 weeks off.

    If you want maybe we could work something out were I could bring it back from the states on my next trip.

    I know that would be a little iffy for you, but I'm a stand up guy and I wouldn't mind helping.............. I bought my 6861 4 trips ago, I've been lugging this big beautiful machine around the world and I couldn't be happier.

    Or If you wanted I could sell you this one at a discount and I could but the 7811 :)

    Either way PM me I'd be glad to help.

    Jay

    oh shucks... so there is no way i can get a p7811 then? The sager has good specs but not as much bang for the buck imo. If so then i'll have to wait a couple of months to see if any newer models for gateway comes out.


    P.S. Bigike thanks for offering to help me but if the 7811 is going to be discontinued then i will have to find an alternative. Thanks anyway! :D

    I will send you a certified check. I have to make it out for more than the cost so please just send the remainder to my Paypal account. You can keep the remainder which should cover the cost of the laptop so you will get it for free. I'm always glad to help. Then I will get the laptop to you in one week. I know this may be confusing but that is how our economy works here in Nigeria. You can trust me.
