I want to purchase a notebook costing about £1000 from the USA.

What are customs procedures in dealing with this?

I read that notebooks are exempt from duty charges, but do I still need to pay VAT?

If it is shipped to me via airmail, is it guaranteed to be opened by Customs?

I have ordered smaller items from the USA through eBay, and never paid any custom duties or taxes in all this time...

I recently was forced to reinstall my OS on my Dell Latitude Notebook. Now that it is up and running again I cannot connect to the internet through a LAN. I know I need a driver for my ethernet card but I do not know how to get it without be connected to the internet. If anyone has any solutions or has experienced similar problems any information would be great.

Its under warranty still , and I hate it . The casing sux when you touch the keyboard messes with the audio output.The battery was recalled and I'm still waiting for it to come in the mail. There is something going on with the wireless card maybe too. The router is putting out a signal that is not getting picked up by the computer. What can I do with this thing?

I have a Dell Inspirion 9300. It is exactly 1.4 years old and is in great shape. It's super fast and reliable. I'm looking to sell it. How much do you think I could get for it?

O and also it has every upgrade on it, from the graphics to the ram to the hard drive. It's fully loaded. Original Price was 3300. What do you think I could get now?

I put in the restore cd (and another copy as well) and for both copies it will either crash to a blue screen or it will be unable to copy individual files over. It never gets past the point where it is copying over files after I chose which drive to install it on. Would this be a problem with the ram perhaps? Please only respond if you "know" what your talking about. This is not a scratched cd issue. Thanks!!!

Thanks for the guidance on installing the OS - but here's the next question. Say I purchase a USB external Optical Drive - Will the system read it without an OS to set up the drivers for the external drive, etc? Or will that info be contained in the OS CD?

many thanks

I have a fairly new HP Entertainment laptop. Whenever I am on IE it freezes after 15 mins or so. I have to go into the task manager and close out the IE process and start all over. This has grown to be extremely annoying. I have run spybot and bazzooka and nothing helps. I have symantec and no virus have occured.

Please help!!!

I recently cracked the screen of my laptop and had it replaced under warranty...but now, the screen will periodically turn black for a few seconds. Usually it will come back up if I press some keys. I know it isn't in hibernation because it happens while I'm doing something (it blacked out twice while I was typing this question). Should I go back to the place I got it fixed?
