I don't live in the US but i really want that notebook badly, would there be any possible way for me to purchace the HP DV8000T notebook outside the US? Thank you very much in advance.

    it depends how far you are. Try ebay. There are brand new items there which ship worldwide, for a good prise though.

    Hp seems to only sell the dv8000t in the US, I guess ebay is the only option for me right now, thank you for your support and help everyone.

    you can buy dv8000t in Canada (under another name of course) but it is the lowest, I mean lowest possible specification:

    1.66 core duo
    2x512 DDR2
    Go7400 / 128
    2 x 80GB / 5400
    17" WXGA+ Brightview
    XP Home
    $1800CAN

    I personally would buy it but XP Home!? No way! (And no bluetooth either). Do I have to say: 1.66 number is not good for psychological well being of a prospective buyer, period.
