    That model isn't coming to the US like that... there will be an S6f, but we're not importing the upolstered model... and ETA on it is this summer.

    Well the biggest (or smallest) spec is the minimal 11" widescreen..... and no internal drive.... this is a slim and sexy.... I've probably got better pictures, but from what they've shown at CES - it looks like a "normal" laptop because all of the proportions are right.... but it's thinner than the W5 (more like the front of the old S5) and the screen is basically the same thing that's on the S5 and M5... just about 3/4" shorter from top to bottom... that's just about what makes the difference between a 12" regular ratio and an 11" widescreen...

    if it came with an external dual layer that would be great.

    Well, it just may..... but at the same time, it may not to keep the price down (it's an accessory and afterall Asus was trying to ditch those to be more competitive with the pricing) .... but who knows...

    There is actually an optical drive built into this, a DVD burner.
