    It's available for pre-order on a few sites. I think it's available in some other countries, correct me if I'm wrong though. The estimated date on Xotic's (USA) site is about mid-May if my memory serves me right...

    They should be available at this time from resellers that offer it here in the US.

    Give us a review Amigo! I'm especially curious about the screen quality.

    I won't be purchasing one and seeing that they are only available for pre-order as of yet, getting a review will be kind of hard. I'm sure someone who will get one will step in for a review. Notebookreview will also probably review the laptop, but that is not something that i can say with 100% certainty. They may or may not review it.

    Regarding the screen, i'm guessing a standard glossy TN panel, but one on par with the ones we've seen so far in the G series, that is to say decent.

    Does anyone know what kind of screen it's going to use is it possible to upgrade it with the V4 AUO 95% NTSC Matte Gamut?

    Hey Amigo!

    Jeg er også fra DK! :)

    Is it possible for you to take some pictures, and maybe give a short review of it? or just what you think in terms of design, build quality and performance? Would be much appreciated!
