    I was just wondering for when dropping by Centrecom earlier last week they had on display what looked to be an Asus S101. But, looking back tonight, this model had a wristrest that looked a lot less like this:

    and one that looked a lot more like this:

    Now, I'm doubting that I actually saw the S121 mainly because of all countries tipped to recieve the Asus S121, I don't think Australia would be very high up. Though, the unit on display wasn't priced yet and it did have a tag saying 'Coming Soon'. Though, I don't think the Asus Eee S101 wristrest would look very different from standard.

    I wish I had taken a snapshot with my phone then (but I didn't think much of it until realising this small difference now).

    I cannot get back to Centrecom for a few weeks yet, but if any other Melbourne-siders can go have a look to confirm or otherwise it would be good (I don't think I'm crazy yet). Unless Asus have released an S101 with the brushed metal bar along the edge...

    What do you think?

    I went back and they changed their displays. I asked about it, and the counter-monkey didn't know about them there. Shame, I would've definitely purchased one of those over my N10J. But I still find the N10 a very good netbook (9300M GS on the go, ftw).
