We got an Acer lapton from Malaysia (one laptop allowed duty free).
24K all-inclusive (without software).
Turion 1.8, DVD writer, 1Gb RAM, 120GB HDD, 15" 1280x800 display, and some glitzy stuff like webcam, Dolby Live (meaningless), and International warranty. Integrated graphics, but at the price what can you expect.
See if you can get someone to ship it in for you, you'll get decent stuff really cheap.
