I am not sure, whether you received any response by other means until now, but I respond anyway. I am living in Aalen, which is roughly 1hr away from Reutlingen. I currently own an older MySN A500/B5130M (http://www.notebookcheck.com/Test-mySN-XMG-A500-Notebook.39622.0.html). Qualitywise, I am still satisfied, though it shows some wear and tear after 3,5 years of nearly daily use. I am thinking about switching to the newest generation (A504 or P304), since the A500 is a bit slow by now.
