This might be a stupid question, but when the CX

This might be a stupid question, but when the CX210 is available for order in the U.S. will it also be available for order in Canada? I know they announced the release for later this month but there is no gateway.ca

Gateway doesn't ship to Canada, unfortunately. They do have a site however, at http://www.gateway.com/ca/index.shtml with a few links, mostly for customer service. BestBuy, FutureShop and Costco are where you'd have to buy one. Most likely, there will be a CX26-- version of the CX210 (my CX2610 is a CX200 by another name).

Thanks. I thought that would be my only option. I would like to buy it with my own specs. Maybe I'll get my brother to ship one to me.

thanks for the quik reply:-)

Ok you can go through eBay like I did. I got the CX200S with 1 GB of Ram for 1150 USD... Im in canada also and she shipped it to me in 3 days (from Utah) Shipping was 70 bucks US, but still its worth it:

80 GB HDD
1 GB Ram
DVD Burner
Celeron M 1.5 GHz (but it's actually great for most things, I just do alot of heavy processing so Im going to be upgrading to a Pentium M)
etc.

Anyways give me a shout if your interested and I'll give you the sellers name to look for! Good luck!

PS - I was also in the same boat as you and I DIDNT want to buy from Future Shope or Best Buy, rather have it straight from OEM!

I bought my CX2615 at Bestbuy in Canada.

I've also seen the CX2620 (1GB ram, 100GB HDD) at either Futureshop or BB, haven't seen them for sale anywhere else.

Those are pretty much the only two stores that carry them in Canada. Its funny though I STILL haven't seen a CX--- or any Gateway Convertible in FS.

FS had a 2610 in stock in their store here when I bought mine at BB for $100 less just before Christmas. The other day, neither web site had CX-anything listed....go figure...

i usually am in ottawa, on, during the school year. best buy, future shop, and compusmart are my best friends in terms of the places i frequent. i never saw at anytime a convertible tablet being sold there. nor have they ever advertised it in their junk mail flyers.

Yeah, I read the junkmail flyers every saturday morning (or friday depends on when the arrive) and Ive yet to even see a convertible in that too. Its weird though because FS really supports Gateway and advertises them alot.
