    Can your company ship me a Clevo P770ZM with these special parts?

    1) Display: AUO B173HW01 v4. Eurocom offers it for an extra 73$, so I reckon that should be the price limit, since most resellers have a price-matching policy fortunately.

    2) Keyboard layout: UK (like this). It has an extra key in between left shift and Z. Again, Eurocom offers alternative keyboard layouts for an extra 46$. The UK keyboard should be the same in style as a US one, and still have all the same illumination features (basically, the one intended for the P770ZM).

    3) Power adapter: 330W with UK power cord. The UK power cord shouldn't really cost anything extra, while the 330W instead than a 230W should come for no more than an additional 65$. ProStar even offers this upgrade for free, but it seems to be a mistake in the options selection though.

    AND MOST IMPORTANTLY:

    4) Can your company ship to Hong Kong?

    I am going to email various resellers privately as well, but since many of them are active on the forum, I thought I'd post here too.

    I'm pretty much ready to buy from whoever can offer these parts and can ship to Hong Kong, and offers best prices and customer service. Who will get my money?

    I believe I responded to your email, didn't mention the UK stuff though.

    That's stuff that Sager doesn't offer and so we aren't either. We're more than happy to ship internationally so long as it can be paid by wire transfer but we're limited in what we can offer as to what Sager has. The power adapter itself is universal so all you'd need is the plug adapter to fit your outlet style. The keyboard should be purchasable standalone if you aren't able to find a local reseller able to help you out, pretty easy to install that. The display as I mentioned in the email will the iffy part, we don't have that panel specifically to install ourselves and Sager doesn't specifically offer it. I don't think anybody has confirmed the panel used on this model just yet and is always subject to change based on availability.

    Hi Derek, thanks for your reply.
    It wasn't me however that you emailed back, since I did not email XoticPC yet.

    1) About the screen: that's a shame they are not offering it. Strangely only Eurocom seems to be offering it.

    2) About the keyboard with the UK layout: So you reckon I could find the exact one intended for the P770ZM with the UK layout somewhere? I thought that if you guys don't have it, there's almost no chance to find it elsewhere. Where could I look?

    3) About the power adapter: Didn't know that the power adapter that comes with the P770ZM was universal. So that's not a problem anymore. What about the power itself? I see XoticPC offers a 330W adapter as an optional spare one, but I don't seem to see anything about the default one that comes with the laptop. Is it 230W or 330W?

    4) About shipping to Hong Kong: okay, great.

    I'll continue my investigation and see what I find, thanks!

    2) u can contact the nearest clevo service center, which in your case would be in Taipei if im correct?

    藍天Clevo

    otherwise just contact pretty much any reseller vendor, they might have spare parts :) CEG for one does definitely sell single components for clevos

    3) stock psu is 230W

    Hello,

    We will offer the panel you are after.
    We are only offering the US layout for now, UK is coming.
    230W is standard, 330W is optional.
    We ship to Hong Kong

    Best of luck finding your laptop

    Odd. I wish I could see that email.

    I really really make use of that extra key in between L-Shift and Z when gaming. I can't live without that key now. (what a waste of space is that super long L-Shift key, no?)

    Hi there! Which reseller do you work for?
    Do you know when the UK keyboards will be available?

    Also, does anyone know which screen is shipped with the P770ZM by default? It might be the Chimei Innolux N173HGE-L11, but I am not sure of this.

    Thanks, I didn't notice the nickname. I will check the forum for a reply but I still mailed you guys privately to ask you something about your prices.

    Brilliant, thanks. Is that true only for Eurocom, or are other resellers supposed to get them too?

    I'm not sure, I sadly can't psychically connect to brains from other companies. ;). Would probably be against fair-trade policies if I could anyways.
