    Hi all,
    Will Asus release a V2Je with Santa Rosa? And if they do when will it come out? What will the upgrades be? Will the geforce 8400GT perform better then the X1450? What are the pros and cons of buying the V2Je now and not waiting ?Pricing? Is it worth it to just buy the V2Je now at about 17k+ or wait for the Santa rose version to come out? Acutally I don't really know what the Santa Rosa brings to the table anyways? Does it just make wireless connections faster (compatible to N). Make the laptop faster? Compatible with 10X? Sorry, for all the dumb questions lol there probably easy questions that most of you know already. ;) Thanks for the help in advance :D

    It's assumed that there will be a V2 SR refresh, no one knows when or what's going to be in it yet though.

    The 8400M GT should perform better than the x1450. It's also DX10 capable. I wasn't aware there was any confirmation that this card would be in the V2 refresh though.

    The 4965AGN featured in Centrino Duo/Pro does support draft-N, but you'd need a compatible router.

    As for waiting...well there'll always be another tech upgrade around the corner. Just wait as long as you feel you can and need to and then choose from what's available at that time....unless of course you have a perfect laptop in mind and you're willing to wait for it, then by all means do that.
