    Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone has updated information on the new Bamboo models, as well as the Bang&Olufsen model? I've not heard anything on these since their announcement, and have been eager to find when they're coming to the US. I hope that Xotic, GenTech, and the like will carry and modify them. Let me know any updated info. Thanks!

    I desperately want the new Asus Bamboo U83JC (14") myself. Asked Asus yesterday 2/20/10 when it would be available... and got no answer.

    I can only hope that we get the chance to buy these in North America, without costly importing.

    The U83JC seems nice, but I find the GT310 video card underwhelming for such a large form factor. The Alienware M11x has a 335 and the Sony Z has a 330! Now, if it was a thin 11" with a 310 I could understand. Does anyone know if the announced Bamboo models have backlit keys?
