    I've been trying to find someone that will sell me a W170ER (Sager NP6175) with a matte display. So far, I have only managed to find one reseller that claims to have this option (powernotebooks.com), but they haven't replied to either of my emails after about a week, so that may be a non-starter. Does anyone know where I might be able to get a W170ER that:

    i) Has a matte display
    ii) Will ship to Australia
    iii) Does not have any branding added (or with branding that I can remove without too much trouble)

    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply; I've been through all of the Australian resellers (and a significant proportion of the US resellers), and I suppose I should have mentioned that while the configuration I am looking for is available through some of them, they (apparently universally) charge a rather significant premium over the US sellers, to the point where, for my needs, it appears that it may be quite a bit less expensive to order from an American seller and have the unit shipped. I was hoping to find a US seller which might have that configuration available, but otherwise, as a last resort, I may have to order from an Australian firm.

    Contact the Australian resellers directly. Many of them will at least match a competitors price - that way your servicing and support becomes simpler, and you pay the same. I recommend logicalblueone, they're been very good to me so far.
