So let's say the "proper replacement" keyboard, how much for 4 shipped to US? I'll bring it back so we can save on shipping.

Perfect for your budget --> ASUS UL30A-A2
Reports 14 hours battery life, but actual is about 12
Has everything you need, only slight downside is the mid grade CPU. So depends what your gna use it for, personally I don't need a really powerful laptop, thats what my home PC is for  | |

We can make it a sausagefest if we decide to do get the 3810T keyboard and do the backlit mod  cause I'd be so down for that but I don't have the tools nor electrician skills haha.

The 13.3" IV I was selling is way bigger, so it's a really bad fit.

Stepped my budget up a bit, now I have around $400-ish taxed in. I've been looking at the FS/BB sites and found a couple of laptops that seem to fit my needs (decided to screw the netbook for something I can actually use for general purpose). http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/...0d45a5bbbben02
I personally like this one, but I'm not sure how well the AMD V140 processor performs, since I like to multi-tab my browsing. http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/produ...0d9b56150fen02
This one is the same price as above after the discount, seems solid with the dual-core and is more compact, but I'm a bit wary of the integrated graphics since I still want to be able to run CS 1.6.
Any opinions are appreciated thanks! I'm a bit stoked to be getting a laptop, and I want to make it count.

Found out that Dell Canada is having a Black Friday sympathy sale, and got a Dell Inspiron 15 for 500 taxed in. Anyone have any experiences with Dell?

Anyone have any experiences with Dell? | Had ordered a Dell Alienware M11x a 3 months ago. Retail 1100, had a coupon for 25% off at the outlet for a certified refurbished one.
Received it, item was absolutely mint condition, performed fully.
Did some research, turns out they forgot to send me a alienware tactx keyboard, worth $109.99 + tax, called in, talked to 2 reps and a supervisor, acknowledged their mistake and they sent it on next day shipping to me.
Afterwards, realized that they sent me the wrong ac adapter, it was a generic one whereas I was supposed to get a ultraportable mini one (which the acer 3820TG doesn't have  but then again it was an 11" gaming netbook compared to a 13.3"). Anyways, one call, apologized and sent me the correct AC charger WITHOUT having to send out my current one.
In the end, got a great deal on the laptop, extra gaming keyboard, 2 ac chargers for half the price of a retail stock package, and with pretty solid customer service.

Just ordered four of the 3820TG keyboards.
During checkout, it said it was going to be shipped with Fedex International Priority. Hopefully there won't be any extra charges.
Total came to 137.08, so $34 for each person.

It's okay. The last time you came by must've been at least four years ago.
