When I was in Featherston, the hostel where I was staying burgled and my laptop and voice recorder were stolen. So I'm gonna buy a new laptop. But I couldn't find a good store.
Moreover, I'm from overseas so I don't know where is a good place and website to buy a laptop or something. Everything is too expensive.

So I tried to buy a laptop on amazon.com but there was a shipment problem.
Anyway where Can I buy a laptop at the cheapest price?

I know pricespy.co.nz but it's still expensive. Is there any other websites for me to get information about buying a laptop at a cheap price?

If you are after cheap and nasty then try Dell, they are really cut throat on pricing and hardware is decent (along with support).

Order online and get it delivered free.

Hard to recommend a model without more infomation:

How much do you want to spend max?
What size do you want 13", 15", 17"?

Sounds like you just don't want to pay NZ prices.

However, you're out of luck, cos you are in NZ .

eg, I wanted the MX-870 printer, cheapest price in NZ is $370, but I've seen in the US for NZ$166.

Even Dell sell their stuff at a higher price to the NZ market.

Of course, we are lucky here in NZ that our average wage is far higher than other countries, and our taxes much lower....oops, wrong there too.

Thank you for all replying.

I just decided to buy a cheap netbook in a website in New Zealand.
