[Q] Anyone can buy a notebook in U.S. for me? - General Questions and Answers

I'm interested in a HP ProBook 400 - currently only announced, but coming soon into the U.S. market.
The HP ProBook 400 series and HP 200 series laptops are expected to be available in the U.S. later this month. Pricing for the HP ProBook 400 series starts at $499. Pricing for the HP 200 starts at $249.
Any U.S. citizien willing to buy such a HP ProBook for me in the U.S. and then export it to Germany (my location)? Payment will be done via PayPal.
I ask this because of the U.S. price approximately is 25% less than it will be in Germany, AFAIK.

Is anybody selling their XDA 64 meg, cash waiting UK

I have £150 to buy an XDA 64 meg version. Ebay have sold several 32 meg version at £125 recently and there has been a marked drop in price on 64 megs. I would prefer to buy from somebody who has looked after their handset which most of you probably have done. Anybody interested please message me or email at [email protected] I am in Gloucestershire. England. Thanks.
Wish I had known this )should check the board more often) as I just sold my 4 month old 64MB XDA to my brother in law for £100!!!
I know that O2 have just recalled all the XDA's back to the NDC (discontinued sales of them through O2 Retail) , so there may be some cheap ones flying around the independant shops soon.
Yes I have been offered 64meg ram refurb units as new for £150 as well, on ebay too the price is sliding downward, also the xda2 came down quite quickly. I think the xda is now the best phone/pda bargain on the market in the price range, you cant get a decent pda for the price.

[Q] Motorola Xoom - to Buy or NOT to Buy?

OK, so I am about to receive a nice little bonus from my company here in London UK! I will come out the other side with just over £500.
my question is: Should I take the plunge and buy the Xoom?
some info:
1. This buy is purely to spoil myself. I dont 'need' a tablet. I have a PS3, HDTV, killer HP laptop , etc! (btw crysis 2 out this Friday...yay! )
2. No, I dont want an Ipad. (yes I have used/owned an iphone before...3GS)
3. Yes, I have an android phone (HTC Desire HD...R00t'd n Rom'd)
4. Yes I want honeycomb
5. I dont have any experience with motorola products. are they any good?
6. Samsung's 10.1 Galaxy tab seems to be a contender as well. Samsung's products are nicely spec'd but they have a tendency to feel cheap/plastic-eeey.
So i'm putting myself in the hands of XDA!
Help me decide please! and if you could elaborate (not just Yes or No) that would be fantastic! If its a NO, what are my options for tablets? (minus the Ipad)
THANX!
LOL...36 views....and No replies!
I'd be impressed if you could get a Xoom for £500 given that, right now, they're exclusive to deals on Verizon so you'd have to buy someone out of a contract on that and cover the cost of import??
When it arrives in the UK I suspect it's price will exceed £500 by some margin - it's likely to compete with an iPad2 3G and the UK's sim-free/unlocked market isn't noted for bargains (and the lock-in prices on the old Galaxy Tab remain silly even now).

[Q] April 26 - US Release Date Announced $399

http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/21/asus-eee-pad-transformer-hits-us-on-april-26-for-399/
The 10.1-inch Transformer with its 1280 x 800 IPS panel and 16GB of storage will cost you $399, while the 32GB version will set you back $499. That docking station, which kinda sorta turns it into a laptop? That costs $150. Units are expected to hit retail on Tuesday, April 26th, meaning you have just five days to scrounge together four or five Benjamins -- plus tax, of course
Sorry reposted...

$100 of tablets at Staples - Coupon

It's been posted in other forums, but since gTab was my first tablet and I know some of you are interested in the newest round of tablets, I'm reposting it here. Now's your chance to grab a HC tablet for $100 off:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1177461&page=4
That thread has some success stories of people getting the $100 of at Office Depot as well.
You need to use the coupon in store (not online) and in some cases people have found the in store proces to be marked up by about $100. When pressed, the stores say the price is a mistake and they will match the online price and then apply the coupon, so you actually get $100 off.
But you'll pay sales tax.
Every store in Northern Virginia is sold out of all Android tablets. Just saying.
For those that want the Transformer, but since it is sold out at Staples.com and not available in stores, Office Depot does price matching. However, I spoke with my closest Office Depot (Plymouth Meeting) and they said coupon matching is only available for the Acer Iconia and the Blackberry Playbook. They do not match coupons for items that Staples does not stock in it stores (ie: online only, like the Transformer). Boo!
I have heard roomers of people getting around this, but I guess it depends on who is working.
Got me a Dell Streak 7, Rooted and installed HC 3.2 on it... Most easiest device to Root/ Rom Ever...
im selling this piece of crap VS now... not that the device sucks (ITS GREAT) the lack of support is why
Got last Thursday an Acer Iconia A500, nice tablet. My old gtablet goes to my stepson.
Happy with my purchase ($299+tax)

Prices around the world

Hopefully others can add to this;
I'm located in Ontario Canada
A 16GB TF101 with a dock costs $499+13% tax here = $564 CDN or $560 US
Tablet alone is $399
I noticed that in the UK, the same unit would be at least $720 US
OUCH
if you decide to add your own details please add taxes and as well maybe convert to US$ so that all of us around the Net can easily compare.
in the netherlands now on sale
i saw a tf101 16 gig without a keyboard here on sale for 513 usd incl sales tax .Normally it goes for 555 usd over the counter.
with keybord ad 97 usd .i bought my 32 gig without a keybord for 606 usd
Most shops in Italy from the beginning offered the TF101 16GB (no dock) at the suggested retail price of 399 euro (vat included); online shops offer(ed) with significant discount as low as 330 euro (vat included).
At the end of may I have bought my TF101 (no dock) for the price of 332.58 euro (20% tax included) which at the current exchange rate (24 Oct) is roughly equivalent to 462 USD.
edit: forgot to mention the storage size
I payed 4 380 SEk for mine with a Dock/keyboard. That comes to app. $665, of that 20% is sales tax, so without tax $535 which isn't all that much of from the US at $499 with Dock. The only way I would make money on it buying from the US is if customs would forget to charge me. That would only happen if the US retailer used a minor shipper (Not FedEx, UPS or similar, since they are diligent about paying customs).
I've bought mine in August (16 Gb + Dock) for 499€ and got a 100€ voucher back (23% tax).
Portugal.
I paid €500 ($692) for a 16GB Transformer (B50) and dock (B60).
Edit: And I'm in Ireland.
I am in South Africa and the price going at the moment is $445.22 excluding 14% tax.
Thanks for all the replies......What started this curiosity on my part was an Australian review on the TF. In that the writer noted a $20AUD price difference between the TF and IPad, which in my opinion is not significant. Here in Canada the Ipad starts at $519 plus 13%taxes, bringing the difference (to the base TF) to around $135 US.
Considering the versatility of the TF over the Ipad and that extra $100+ in your pocket I can see for sure why the TF has been a success, but if they (IPad vs TF) were priced almost identical that would be a tough choice. There's something to be said for the maturity of the Apple ecosystem, and frankly every time i load an app onto the TF from the Marketplace and it fails to preform as expected I scream.
I may not mind hacking, tweaking, testing etc on my device, but the masses out there simply want a device that works.
So would i spend the same money on a TF over an Ipad....yep
What would I suggest for the same money that my Grandmother buy...the Ipad
And the above partly explains why almost 3 out of 4 tablets sold worldwide is an Ipad
