    Hi i live in canada and want a dv2500t. Thing is hp.ca doesnt ship any and no stores carry the new santa rosa. Also laptops are way cheaper in the states just like everything even though when you include tax here in canada everything should be pretty much same price. Anyway Im worried about warranties if my Hp gets busted could i send it to hp canada or will i have to ship it to the states and will they ship it back to canada?

    I don't think they would do anything but domestic repairs on a domestic notebook.
