    hello everybody, i will be visiting Canada this winter, i will buy a notebook. But i need to find a store (that takes money, no credit card). I was looking for a budget Acer around $500.

    Any clues where i can find on Toronto or Montreal good stores?

    I heard there may be some promotions before christmas, any information i should know about it?



    thanks for the help, later
    on wednesday i will be lost on montreal, its where my search begins

    Asides from high shipping costs, there will be high customs duties to pay which will probably erase the cheaper prices.

    If you're in the Toronto area, http://www.milestonepc.com/ is great. The also serve to the US.

    Formerly CanadaSys. I haven't bought a laptop there, but everything else has been great in quality and price.
