So I'm in the market for a Tablet PC. I was looking on Danawa and saw a couple nice ones for under $1000. My question is: should I buy at Yongsan and shop around for the best price by looking and testing? Or will I do better getting it shipped from the US/Canada? I've seen a lot of people lately say buying from the US is better. I don't know much about Tablet pricing but I know that's what I want - Netbooks are not powerful enough and regular notebooks are too big for my purposes.

These 2 in particular look pretty nice....I wonder if I can get the same thing for cheaper on ebay or something....

The ripple is only available online - I know I looked everywhere in Yongsan and couldn't find it. In the end I couldn't trust a no-name computer taht I actually couldn't touch before buying so I got a regular old laptop.
