    Hi all,

    I was recently visiting a friend in Kent and I got the chance to use his X65 and now I really want one.

    I am interested in purchasing a Samsung notebook and I was wondering if anyone knows how I should go about it.

    Thanks in advance for any replies.

    At the moment, Samsung notebooks are not sold in the USA (except for the Q1). As reported elsewhere, Samsung are planning a substantial increase in notebook production and this may result in expansion into North America.

    In the mean time, you would need to try to persuade a European or Asian retailer to send the X65 to you. Or make another trip to UK and buy one and reclaim the VAT on departure. However, an Asian version would most likely have a US keyboard.
