    Hi guys,

    I am very interested in the upcoming W150HNQ, and I have seen some retailers websites where it is available for pre-ordering (Sager, Kobalt, Ava Direct, ...).

    I would like to know where I should buy this laptop, if I want it shipped in Strasbourg, France. What I'm asking is which retailer could ship it the earliest, and the cheapest.

    For compenents and pricing, Sager is the retailer I find the most attractive, but it is based in the US if I'm not wrong and maybe it would be long and expensive to have the laptop shipped from there to France.

    Moreover, an Azerty keyboard (French) would be great, instead of a Qwerty one.

    Thanks for your answers !

    Try the European resellers. Like MySN for instance. I haven't really found any good Clevo resellers in France, but Germany has rather good ones and they do offer AZERTY. There are also some nice resellers in Belgium.

    I haven't found W150HNQ laptops, nor any other sandy brdige based laptops on these sites yet =/

    MySN seems good so far, it would be great if I could contact them by email (I really don't feel like talking in german on the phone ^^)

    Mysn, althoug is one of the best rated, don't include RMA's & repair shipping costs and it' s most expensive than others.

    If you buy from them please send me a PM to tell me how was it, if you don't mind.

    I don't care about the price, as long as the laptop I'm buying suits me for 2-3 years :) (that means the built is of quality, and the components are the most recent ones).

    Some of the guys at MySN also speak English.
    Yes, the main downsize is that when you want to ship your laptop back for repairs you have to pay for shipping costs. But if you buy from someone in France the same will apply.

    I wonder about kobaltcomputers, it seems like a good reseller (even if they have had troubles recently)
