GigaByte Notebooks - Where to buy in the USA?

Recently I've been exploring on Gigabyte's website, liking their motherboards, I wanted to see if they sold any notebooks like most other Taiwanese ODM & Motherboard companies. So far, on google, not many searches came through, most with distributors and not resellers.

Is there's anybody here who's had experiences or owns a reseller company? I'm looking into buying a Gigabyte notebook.

Thanks.

 

hm, i always thought Gigabyte was an OEM and used laptops from other ODMs?

 

I know that iBuypower.com has the Gigabyte W511A. That's the only notebook I know of that they sell. There are others, however, I am not familiar with them.

Here's a review of the W511A:

When I go to IBuyPower's site, I can't find the W511A. That's the model I want to purchase. Am I going to the wrong site, or do they just not have it?

 

Hm, they must have stopped selling it...I saw it there about a month ago.

Now, I can't seem to find it anywhere. Anyone know where you can get a W511A?

I don't know about that one specifically, but they sent us one to review a while back and it was built poorly. If you haven't been able to see one, I'd make sure you can return it from wherever you purchase.

 

Yeah, Mobility Guru (extension of Tom's Hardware) also wasn't too fond of the build quality, and they said the cooling solution was pretty poor.

Here's the link I posted eariler if you'd like to take a look:
