    That laptop is usually an awesome deal, but the conversion is confusing me.

    869pounds = 1,715.41 USD.

    Are you comfortable buying internationally? Because I configured that same laptop & it would cost about $1200USD ( http://www.xoticpc.com/sager-np2096-custom-laptop-built-compal-jhl90-p-2409.html

    Maybe people from the UK would know more about it, but it might cost less to buy in U.S dollars with your credit card, and have it shipped.

    Good luck.

    edit: This is a much better deal: http://web.eurocom.com/EC/ec_model_config1(1,196,0)) - Eurocom delivers internationally also. Switch the currency to GBP, it starts at 750 pounds. (New processor, high end video card, 1680*1024 glossy screen, ddr3 ram)

    Hi folks,

    @ Didier ... for what is worth ... "Eruocom" component upgrade prices are way Too High.

    As Arom suggested ... may be cheaper for you to buy from XoticPC and have it shipped to you to UK. I have seen other folks do it ... especially with the higher end Gaming laptops like Clevo's.

    G! :)
