    hi I am about to buy a Clevo P170HM, but I hesitate between the sellers,
    After several searches I found that "ProStar" proposed the same configuration as "XoticPc - Malibal" but reduced price, is that I can trust him ? what do you recommend ?

    If you are going to buy from a US reseller I would reccomend XoticPc and Mythlogic both have a good reputation on here. They also have support people who post on here so you will find they are very popular.

    I've bought machines from ProStar. They're a very trustworthy supplier.

    It is reasonable to expect a lower price when buying from ProStar, since they fall on the same tier in the supply chain as Sager does, thus bypassing a reseller.

    I forgot to mention that. ProStar is the second largest supplier in the US, behind Sager.

    Difference being that PS has top-notch Customer Service people.

    ProStar is an integrator Canadian or American?
    if Canadian, The listed price includes TVA or not ? and is what it is in CAD or USD ?
    sending it to America is what I have to pay customs ?
