Acer 3820TG North America Purchase Options

[Bronsky]

Anybody have confirmation yet that CenDirect has shipped any units? Did I read that units ship Canadian post and USPS? Should take awhile.

Still waiting for my wire transfer to go through. It's already 2pm there so I'm annoyed. :|

I'll hold onto my 4820TG a bit longer and when an i5/5650 is finally available from Canada, i'll bite. I just couldn't resist the i5 460M / 5650 for $750 out the door from newegg .

Also picked up one of the $750 4820TG's from Newegg (to go along with the i3-350m/5650 3820TG from PCHome). Should be here within a few hours.

Funny that it takes about the same amount of days to ship a laptop from NJ to FL that it does from Taiwan to FL. 5 days Vs 6, both including weekends, but the 6 day trip spent 3 of those days at JFK customs.

I'm buggin out right now on deciding whether to order a 3820TG (only i3-370m is available from Canada, right?) or a 4820TG from within the US.

I've never seen anyone so tortured by a decision before.

I do not know if all the reasons apply but the URL was given and I put in the price without shipping but they may have wanted the price with shipping. Can't get past the no stock reason though.

I'm posting this from my newly arrived cendirect 3820TG.

I would have posted an hour ago, if it hadn't been for the network drivers\!

Have I mentioned that I hate bilingual keyboards?

Any problems with customs? And how long did shipping take? (Still awaiting mine to be shipped.)
