    Hi, I've recently come across http://www.gen-x-pc.com/ which has some really amazing deals. i.e. a notebook 15" with T7200 and GeForce 7600 for approximately 1350 USD. Has anybody else purchased from this manufacturer? They have a wide array of useful information on their site, but I can't find anywhere if they are a reliable company. I have heard some things about internetishop.com (which they refer to on their site) but I just don't know it seems too good to be true.

    their laptops are basically rebranded Clevo, Asus and Uniwill that you can find with other well known vendors like Sager, Powernotebooks, BTOtech, etc. I don't know about these guys, but you can do price comparisons with the other companies, and if you don't feel confident buying from gen x pc, you can try some one else as these models are widespread.

    I forgot to mention I live in Canada - none of the resellers you mentioned ships/sells to Canada. Any good sites/companies you can recommend that can offer similar setups to people in Canada? Thanks

    GEN-X-PC sells Clevo, ASUS and MSI Notebooks. Sager sells to the public and Powernotebooks buys from Sager. BTOTech (AKA Gearedtoplay.com) mostly sell ASUS notebooks. By the way gen x pc also ships to Canada. Eurocom in Canada sells Clevo at extremely high prices in Canada. Almost as high priced as Alienware! I have tooted my horn about gen x pc a few times. They are reputable, knowledgeable, friendly AND have great prices.
