    Unfortunately not. The only way to get US HP notebooks is to come to the US. My uncle makes a trip up from British Columbia every other year, and once ordered a new notebook from HP when he was visiting.

    I called HP Customer Support Canada and HP Shopping Canada and was told that we can only order the "SmartBuy" and "Standard" configs, both online and by phone. HP Canada will not do custom configs (unless your buying large quantities ie hundreds or more).

    When it comes to online shopping, with a few exceptions like Dell, Canada sucks :p
