    here in norway, N43SN has two 2.0 usb, and one 3.0 usb port. amazing laptop, gt550 video, its almost perfect, only one thing is missing, 8 or 9 cell battery. i think it only comes with 6 cell battery :( not sure hows battery life is with 6 cell, does anybody know?

    edit: actually there is a 9cell replacement battery available... all i can say, its the most perfect notebook.

    Hey Just wondering -- how long does it take usually for Asus to push out a refresh for their laptop line?

    I am also desperately in the market for a new Asus but refuse to buy anything less than Sandy Bridge. Can't stand the wait.
