    Someone from South Korea offered me a Samsung X1 for $1890 plus $100 S&H to the US. Some of the specs are below:

    Everything included is listed below:

    EXTRAS INCLUDED FREE:

    I also get tracking on the package, Square Trade Buyer Protection (not really sure what this is), and the Paypal Buyer Protection Program on the item. Do you guys think this is a good deal?

    1-I think you can find one of these in U.S. at 1800$
    2-The korean version will probably be configured for korea(manual language,keyboard layout(perhaps extra keys I do not know about korean keyboards),power supply might not be in the U.S. style (110V,plug's shape))
    3-Do you REALLY need such a tiny notebook,think about asus W3J+ ,it's ,much more powerful than this you can buy configured one's from some places like Geared2Play.com by Eddie...

    You said I could get one in the US for around $1800. Where would I get that?
