    I still don't get why I get a 25% GST slapped across my face when I check out. And to be honest, if you guys don't hurry, you shouldn't bother anymore because the Asus V2 and F8 seem to be releasing soon.

    The www.zepto.com website is for European countries that are not covered by a Zepto website. We have dealt with a handful of orders outside of Europe but we do not have any kind of service in US, we are trying to arrnage this before setting up a US website

    The problem with shipping international is that you allways get the tax and possible toll added to the price, so you actually pay for 2 countries taxes, wich is stupid :D. But if you live in a neightbour conutry not too far away from the pickup location, theres allways the possibility to go get it yourself, noone can stop you from transporting a laptop from a country to another :D

    If you ordered the laptop outside the country, you'd be on the hook for the US customs duty, but not GST (I don't think.) However, if Zepto can get a US-based retailer to sell them then no duty, just sales tax, if applicable.

    I know you probably can't reveal the identity of the service provider, but at this point in time are you pursuing providers in both the U.S. and Canada, or only the U.S.?

    I am in the market for a small/small-ish laptop. The Zepto 14" with 8600 looks very nice, especially the 6x24 models. And when I converted just the price itself, then it's quite a good deal - if you'd be selling them with those prices here, I am sure you'll get very good business.

    Wishing you luck,

    Amol

    (Oh, and I do live in the US)

    I would also get one in a heartbeat. Please keep us updated.

    P.S. Any chance of a true 16.7 million color screen on a future model?

    I would absolutely buy form Zepto. So long as the depth of customization options stays. And hopefully comparable prices to other major brands. Hope to see a functioning US/Canadian site soon!

    Well, I just ordered a F8sv-B1, primarily because Zepto doesn't seem to have it's act together in the U.S. yet. So you lost a customer here.

    Not with any kind of certainty. I don't do pre-orders, that's why I didn't even get the F8sv till now.
