    Which OEM is the preferred distributor for this Clevo model? And where should I order it?

    atm I'm considering:
    sagernotebooks.com
    avadirect.com
    xoticpc.com (though I'm not exactly sure about reliability of vendor)

    May I add Pro-Star and R&J Tech to your list? I've bought an M860TU from each of these vendors, and I have nothing but good things to say.

    Skip buying directly from Sagernotebooks altogether. I hear their customer service is sub-standard.

    Don't worry about the reliability of xoticpc. Many people (including I) have ordered from them and they are excellent to deal with. :D

    I called powernotebooks.com several times and had great sales people. Donald talked with me for 20 minutes about my laptop even after he answered my initial question.

    yup, thats why I usually recommend for any consumer to contact their perspective vendor to see what kind of service and support they have.

    I would also second the recommendation for R&J Tech. I ordered my m570tu from there.

    My D400V, M38AW, and M570TU all came from RJTech. I've been a customer with them for over six years.

    If you can get them to lower the pirce, Eurocom is also a great OEM.

    I've had nothing but excellent service from them.

    About eurocom, is it just because only people who have problems with them write on the forums, because from what I read, theri CS isn't so great(true that the posts were 1 year+ old) And I wanted to know if their after buying the computer it's easy to deal with them if required(for warranty). So far they've been very good to me but it'S just to know.

    Thanks
