One thing I hate on most laptops is that there is all kind of stupidly weighty software doing something stupid like showing network status (30mb from memory and 2nd most CPU intensive process in acer for example) and there is loads of this bloatware so naturally windows will be installed with custom settings if I get laptop.
In europe we have small problem with tolls, product that is relatively ok prices in US does get something between 50-100% extra when it enters to this area, really sucks.
Laptops assembled in Germany don't have this problem as it is made in EU product, it does not matter that components do come very same places, stupid laws, but what you could do for them...
Fine example from few years ago, Digital video camera did come cheaper if you fly to US spend few days there and bought camera from US, then returned with it to here rather than you would bought it in here and travelling is not very cheap at all, imo.
