    Hello, I live in Canada and wish to buy this laptop. However, I have heard that there are some troubles going along with this (such as warranty and shipping). I was wondering if it is still possible to buy this laptop.

    Also, are there any discounts for students?

    Thank You

    I think the WiFi is 802.11 a/g/n, so it can take a lot of frequencies today and tomorrow.

    In Canada, I don't know the exact rates but it'll be a lot, from what I hear. Really unfortunate for you guys, considering we all live on the same continent....

    I think it depends on the reseller really, but I could be wrong you might want to start asking the resellers.

    No one's posted a definitive breakdown of all monies that would be need to be paid for importing a laptop, but it seems to come down to GST, PST, and brokerage fees. The most variable is the brokerage fees; UPS's fee schedule can be found here. The main thing about shipping for Canadians will be to use one of the higher levels of shipping service rather than ground. Overall, it'll be more economical (>$30 saved compared to ground shipping once brokerage is added), and it'll reach you faster as well.

    There may be other duties/fees and brokerage fees that are not listed above and are unknowns at the moment (some of which could be so nominal that the purchaser may not even notice). So, unless someone who's imported a laptop clarifies exactly what was owed, there will always be the potential for "additional fees".
