France
I am living in france, and I need to get a good portable computer (macbook air equivalente). Any suggestions?
I haven't been able to find a good store, that carry new haswell models.
Any good online store? Amazon.fr kind of sux.
(This is not a debate if I should buy the air instead, I need a PC)
 
Buying in France

Why not buy from the Apple Store? Or are you talking about a used model? What you need to consider, when buying in France, is French your first language? If it is not, then you need to specify in your requirements that you want a QWERTY keyboard, rather than a AZERTY keyboard. System can be changed to different languages once you get the computer. I live in France, but English is my first language. I generally order via the UK shop of Apple, but Apple US will probably do as well. If you phone Apple in France, you will have no problem if you ask for an English speaking assistant.
 
I want a PC, but dont know where to buy. And dont know much about PC.
I want a 4th gen Intel, in a good PC brand. Air equivalent.
 
English is your first language and your can't read? ;)

The OP wants a PC, a Macbook Air equivalent.

I'm guessing you're not in Paris, if you are just go to Rue Montgallet. There should be an equivalent in other cities.

Chains like FNAC will likely be disappointing as you want the latest and greatest.

Personally, if I were you I would select the haswell based laptop you want based on online reviews and then order from whoever has stock and the best price, ebay, some random shop in germany, or wherever.
 
I think I will wait some weeks, beacause most brands haven't updated their models to Haswell. I was thinking on a Asus or Samsung serie 9.
I was told that the best price are often found in Swiss online stores, but I dont know any =(.

What's wrong with Amazon France ? I've bought stuff from there before but their prices aren't as good as Amazon Germany. Since you have to have an Azerty keyboard, then Swiss stores are a good bet for a Swiss French layout. Here's one, http://www.stegcomputer.ch/it/news/index.php, but it looks a bit naff to me.
