    Hmm... Xp Pro included... misprint ?.

    I wonder if they actually have it in stock or have to order it like ZZF previously.

    You can find the same specs (except for the XP Pro, which may be typo) at milestonepc or portableone for $1499 and $1550, respectively.

    Well, Xp Pro is usually a $50-$99 USD upgrade depending on where you buy it. So thats not a bad deal at all. Great find ;)

    Pretty sure it's a typo. Look at the pics. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowImage.asp?Image=34%2D220%2D028%2D01%2Ejpg%2C34%2D220%2D028%2D02%2Ejpg%2C34%2D220%2D028%2D03%2Ejpg%2C34%2D220%2D028%2D04%2Ejpg%2C34%2D220%2D028%2D05%2Ejpg%2C34%2D220%2D028%2D06%2Ejpg%2C34%2D220%2D028%2D07%2Ejpg%2C34%2D220%2D028%2D08%2Ejpg%2C34%2D220%2D028%2D09%2Ejpg%2C34%2D220%2D028%2D10%2Ejpg%2C34%2D220%2D028%2D11%2Ejpg%2C34%2D220%2D028%2D12%2Ejpg%2C34%2D220%2D028%2D13%2Ejpg%2C34%2D220%2D028%2D14%2Ejpg&CurImage=34%2D220%2D028%2D12%2Ejpg&Description=ASUS+A8Jm%2DH009H+Intel+Core+Duo+T2400%281%2E83GHz%29+14%22+Wide+XGA+1GB+100GB+DVD%B1R%2FRW+NVIDIA+Geforce+Go+7600+NoteBook+%2D+Retail

    Nice, that has higher specs than the V6J, and is a few hundred dollars cheaper than the V6J on proportable! ****!

    Well, the V6J has the nicer screen and chassis (mmm.... aluminium :)). Also, the international V6J usually has the T2400 GPU, so the A8Jm only has the edge in the GPU stakes.
