    Haha, with QWERTZ keyboard :D ;)

    Damn, what a idiot upgrade prices:

    160 GB 5400 rpm > 100 GB 7200 : € 149 (do it yourself for € 100 and still have that 160 GB drive)
    QWERTZ> QWERTY keyboard: € 59 (too expensive..)

    Vista Home Premium > Vista Bussiness English: € 188
    Vista Home Premium > XP Pro English (not installed): € 149

    And it is not possible to upgrade the CPU (€ 1000 upgrade ? :p)

    And it has a low-resolution screen (WXGA, what can't be upgraded.)


    Shippingcosts are fair.

    Forgot to mention: still a nice find!

    Dunno, it may not happen stamar - LG's contract with a certain American company expired a few years ago, they only opened to the Canadian market right after, but not to the States...

    Though it'd be interesting for sure :)
