    Hey I'm looking to get an HGL30 and I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good place to get on in Canada (preferrably Ontario). Milestone does not carry this model only the "EL80" and Im not sure how bizcom works. Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

    Cheers

    No, that place only has the HEL80 and the HGL31, which is an integrated gfx version of the HGL30, which almost defeats the point of getting an HGL30...

    xoticpc.com ships to Canada. You could try getting one from them.

    Unfortunately Compals are hard to get in Canada at the moment.

    Is there a way to use resellerratings.com and search by country? My 30 seconds of viewing that site came up with nothing.

    Well, I will tell you this straight up, no lie. Buy from the US unless you want to pay premium for the unit.

    The HEL80 is a fine unit, I remember talking to powernotebook, they said the HEL80 is more sturdy than the HGL30. Plus their prices are very good. I know of another place, but they are up the 2.2k range for similar config to genitech.

    Powernotebooks does not ship to Canada. I think NCIX.com as the hgl30 if you don't mind having abyssmal support.

    I've made my choice to get the HGL30, but I'm still having trouble finding Canadian retailers. Anyone know of anything? So far I got

    milestonepc.com (Hel80 only)
    superiorcomputers.ca

    Let me know if you know of any others.

    Cheers
