    I was thinking of ordering the 7805-u laptop from Best Buy US's website, but the question I have regarding doing this is the service options. Since I live in Canada and I order it from the US, if this laptop has any problems, what options do I have to get the laptop repaired? Am I limited due to the fact that I ordered it from the US when I don't reside there? Will Gateway still take it in for repair because of this?

    I just sent mine out through best buy, and apparently the Gateway HQ is in Toronto in Canada, so it will not have to be shipped outside of Canada :)

    Bestbuy US doesn't ship internationally to Canada. Sucks that Bestbuy Canada doesn't have the same inventory as the US Bestbuy and doesn't carry the FX series laptops from Gateway.
