Anyone has imported ultrabook from US or UK?

Hello Ozbargainers,

I am looking for sub $700 14" or 15" ultrabook with i7 and minimum of 8gb RAM in Australian market(online/store) but could not find any decent deal and apparently there are plenty of similar specs ultrabooks available on ebay and Amazon US and UK.

The most frustrating part is that companies have higher pricing for the same/similar model here in AUS as usual.

I am wandering if anyone has bought from US or Europe and could provide some good suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Computing

    Very good store to buy or even just to look for laptops. Only problem when importing is that warranty can be a hassle and be aware that if it is over 1k you have to pay GST(not a problem since you're looking for a sub $700 ultrabook)

      Just realized it's an i5, not i7.

        Thanks mate, I was not aware of import duty over 1kg.

          Oz is referring to $ not weight ;-)

      Unfortunately, shipping from B+H is absurd.

        I browsed few stores and it looks like not worth importing specially with my budget. Could anyone pls suggest some good Aus online stores for ultrabooks? Cheers

    probably best if you have a mate overseas who is coming back soon.
