    Where's the best (aka cheapest) place I can find the A8Jm? I've checked Geared2Play.com but it isn't there.

    Try PortableOne (their MX series is A8Jm rebranded) or MilestonePc who just opened their US operation.

    Portable One, MilestonePC and Zipzoomfly will be the only places you can find them.

    Is the a8f the one you were referring me too at Zipzoomfly? Zipzoomfly doesn't seem to sell the a8jm.

    Goren: I thought I read in one of the other threads that Zipzoomfly didn't actually have them in stock, and have pulled it off their site?

    ah, I guess if they pulled it off recently, it's just P1 and Milestone PC then :)

    The A8jm is a Canadian only unit, P1 specially imported it as their MX series in the states. MPC is a Canadian company(aka CanadaSys) whom recently moved down to the states, so they're the only options so far :)

    Portableone sells them for $1550, including free shipping and a case. MilestonePC sells them for $1499 + shipping (free if you pre-order)+$10 handling + 1% insurance.

    They both seem like great companies. Both allow the memory, harddrive, and CPU to be upgraded for an additional cost, so the best price may depend on the config you're looking for.

    EDIT: I think portableone has a cheaper extended warranty and milestone has cheaper upgrades.
