Importing from Germany for about 1800 EUR, since we're able to deduct the 16% VAT there.

I am not quite sure the quality of that laptop is up to the standards you require. You could send it to me for a quick evaluation, I am experienced in such matters. If the quality is good enough I shall send it back. In case of lacking quality I shall dispose of the electronic device in question for your comfort.

that thing costs about as much as i have spent on computer hardware in the last 5 years in all. fucking nice though, dont see any reason not to get it.

The specs are really good! You should buy it! However how much warranty that laptop brand offers you?

Any Dell, type "Dell coupons" into Google and oogle at the hundreds of dollars they take off the price, I bought my Inspiron 9300 with 750 off

Ahem, yes I know. But that's in the US only. Dell sweden offers no such discounts or coupons at all. If lucky, you get a crappy printer for free if you order a Dell here.

Otherwise that's a nice laptop too.

I've decided on the laptop above, will order it early next week and hopefully have it the week after.

hope you like a 5 minute battery life and talk about a beast to carry around..

a sexy dell 700m max'd out might be nice. anything centrino has a nice battery life.. the more mobile the more likely you'll use it.. cant see you pulling out that monster at a conference meeting hehe..

It has about 3½ hours battery time which isn't too bad, and the weight of 2.86 KG is pretty good for a laptop with a 15.4" WS screen.

Dell 700m isn't sold in Europe, at least not Sweden. Either way, a low res 12.1" screen is nothing for me.
