Hi ,
If they are the same Laptops that you are referring to they are now on sale  
over in the UK.
They are notebook computers are  produced  by a  company "HCL" and the 
operating system Windows XP.
The UK distributor is a company that can be found at www,stirling  house 
.co.uk
1520 London Road,
Leigh on Sea,
Essex
SS9 2UR.
They selling at a price of £179.99 ( UK) but of course carriage to the USA  
might put the price out of range.
The package includes a Window XP CD and another with additional drivers, it  
does not have a CD or
DVD built in so one would have to use an external device using the USB  port.
Cheers
