Hmm... Favorable posts from 3 newbies, each of whom has only a single post. This strikes me as a shill from portableone.com trying to promote their product.
I reviewed one of their notebooks for notebookreview.com about 7-8 years ago. It was very nice.
They seem to be well regarded in the notebookreview.com forums - last time I looked was a few years ago.
They re-sell re-brand Asus and other ODM notebooks.
I would research them at NBR as it has way more traffic.

Isn't it an amazing coincidence that the first three replies are from users who have joined the community on May 3, 2011 (aka. today)? Didn't think so.
Does Amazon.com charge tax to New York? IF not, they usually have pretty decent prices, and if you sign up for a free trial of Amazon Prime you can have it overnighted for $3.99, free 2 day shipping
Too much of a coincidence that 4 newbies that joined today and only have one post, post on this topic ...
Hate to say this but there are a lot of uninformed dorks on this site with matters they know nothing about. An intelligent person would realize they have an A+ rating through BBB (oooh know what the BBB is?). I ordered a new MBP from them and they have been nothing but great. Paid less than an educational discount with no shipping or tax. Actually got another 2% off with a wire transfer (no credit card charges for them). Scott has helped me and has been nothing but great.
My advice is to do your research before you start spewing unintelligent B.S. in a post.

Ratings from the BBB are no longer what they once were. Even if you get a bad rating you can make a "contribution" to BBB and they will upgrade you to A+.
Still, the number of newbies making first and only post in favor of a company I've never heard of makes me think they are shills for whoever runs portableone.com. Any newbie whose first post is to praise something dubious surely shows they lack credibility.

Hello - No, PortableOne.com does not collect NY Sales Tax. We only have one location in Pleasanton, CA and therefore, we are only required to collect California state sales tax.

Greetings all.
This is long overdue, but wed like to finally set the record straight.
Portable One is a small, family owned business in Pleasanton CA. We advertise very little; we rely heavily on word of mouth referrals and repeat business; and with that weve been growing like crazy. Every day, our entire team works hard to exceed our customers expectations. If you call us during business hours, well answer. If you email us, youll almost always hear back within two business hours.

Yes, we are indeed an Apple Authorized Reseller. You can verify that here: https://locate.apple.com/sales/?pt=all&lat=37.6903866&lon=-121.8849253
Yes, about 7 years ago we changed our name from Laptops, Inc. to Portable One, Inc. - we do not hide that. And over the years, we have moved from San Jose, CA to Morgan Hill, CA to our current location in Pleasanton, CA.
Best Regards,
Scott@PortableOne.com
