    HP Australia does not do CTO (custom) orders. They only sell pre-built notebooks which never have the exact specs you want

    So you will need to know someone who lives in the US to order it for you. They can only ship to US addresses.

    Have you checked the pre-built models they have here? If i remember correctly there should be one pretty close to the specs you want.

    HP does not offer CTO for consumer notebooks outside the USA. There are instances where they will, but you have to be a volume customer for it to be cost effective.
