    Today, i was just browsing the web just through the regular resellers like I normaly do, and as most people know, I am awaiting for the ASUS V1J's arrival in NA, but also like the Apple MBP with C2D.

    I have also kept one eye out for the Compal Hel80, because of the customization and great value.

    www.MilestonePC.com for USA and Canada have great prices.

    The US has barebones starting at $719 for the Hel80 and you can easily get a nice laptop for ~$1200 or so.

    The Compal Hel80 is a great competitor for the 15.4" notebooks, customization, awsome value, good quality.

    From my comparisons of 15.4" notebooks, the Compal Hel80 is just amazing value, and i think these are the lowest prices I've seen for performance laptops.

    Thanks,

    MysticGolem

    Actually our very aggressive deals on Compal notebooks are in Canada only right now, and just started today, I will start from there and watch the market, then decide how to expand later.

    Thanks for the update MysticGolem!

    MilestonePC, has the non-VBI HEL80 been made available in Canada yet?

    Well I just ordered two compal laptops from MilestonePC.com on Sunday.
    Yeah they have great prices.
    I ordered one that comes with the WSXGA+ screen and the other the VBI model.
    Can't wait to get them :) Hopefully they will arrive today (Friday) hehe

    I think they have, if you look here, these 2 laptops are under Compal not the VBI section.
