    Dear forumers,

    I am thinking of buying a Toshiba M700/ Asus R1E/ HP TX2000 from one of the USA merchant sites. Toshiba, Asus and HP sites in the USA do not shipped overseas.

    I look at Provantage.com. But i was told by the customer service officer that they do not shipped laptops overseas outside of USA as they are restricted by the vendors.

    Next, i looked at PortableOne.com. It seems that even though i cannot buy online, there is still some ways to go about doing this.

    Could anyone please advised? Which website can i go to in order to buy a laptop and get it shipped to an overseas address? What restrictions are there and is there any things that i must be aware or caution about?

    BTW, i am based in Singapore. Thanks for your help.
