    Hi.
    I'd like to get a Fujitsu S7010. Is anybody out here, who has experience in ordering a notebook online in the US and have it shipped to the EU? I am sorry, if this is not the right forum to post this question...
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks! Til

    there's a few retailers/resellers here in the U.S. that will ship overseas, but you'll be responsible for all shipping, customs and tax charges. If you're looking to buy a Fujitsu then check out www.laptopsinc.com as they will ship to the EU and they have an international order # (click on the ordering tab of the site)

    they are highly reputable, i have bought from them before.

    Plz remind yourself that you probably have to pay taxes over it. If I'd import some notebook I have to pay 19% over the whole price including shippingcosts (from USA to Netherlands). Also remind yourself about warranty stuff! I looked at ordering a notebook in the USA: prices are much lower!!! The fun part here is the resellers still think 1 dollar is 1 euro [ :(!]. In the end with extra warranty and 19% its actually better to order it here in my own country than to import it...
