    Just wondering the best place for me to purchase a gx640 in Canada. Cheapest prices are the biggest concern. Not too concerned about ship times.

    Bonuses are also important! Thanks guys.

    Also, while asking about it, how is the webcam on the gx640? The GE600 has the HD cam and it seems kind of neat..

    You'll save more money if you ask a US reseller to mark your package value for a lesser amount or as 'parts/replacement' to save the 14% duty fees. I'd explore that option (not everyone does it - email them) first, since in Canada, it's not only more money for the laptop, there's that nasty 14% tax too.

    Is that legal though? I'd then have to pay ridiculous shipping to Canada, because I don't really want to leave my laptop at someone else's house in the states.

    I may just go with NCIX, as i can pick it up during my lacrosse tourney in two weeks. Saves me 50 bucks on shipping/insurance. And has a free mouse. :)

    Anyone see these going on back to school sales soon? I doubt they will.. no one ever gives back to school specials on gaming laptops :p.

    I ordered one from NCIX last week (on back order). They just received about 10 of them yesterday so I am hoping mine ships out today.
