    Hey everyone!

    The Z62F w/combo drive is in.
    [more options to be listed soon!]

    Djembe asked for a review, but I really don't have the time. :eek:
    All I can say for now is that it's still an ASUS and the bang for buck is definitely there.
    [especially for a Core Duo notebook]

    Everything is ready to roll in the Build Center, so stop waiting!
    Check it out...

    Until later.

    Thanks. Pics need more lighting. Where is the webcam located? It will be perfect if it could be turned 180 degree like the W5j.

    Thanks, a nice new laptop with lots of features. I noticed that the edge buttons on Z63a are now gone.

    You mean the Z62F doesn't have side buttons like the Z63a?
    It's a completely different model...

    Its unlikely there will be a Z63a successor with Yonah processors.

    does the battery stick out? and the battery is just a six cell right...?

    It kinda looks like an acer...
