    I was just wondering if there is going to be a paralell model of the z70va with a yonah processor.

    Any info would be helpful.

    No...... at this time the Z7va will be phased out by the end of March and there is no followup model - in the US anyway. Asus will put out the A6 based Z92ja by the end of February to "replace" the Z70's spot in the lineup........ but like I said.. there is a reason the EOL for the Z70va isn't for another month or more after the Z92ja comes out............ because a lot of people are going to still buy the Z70va for it's looks.

    Yup, it's a bummer. A Z70Va with something like the x1600 or GeForce 6800 or better and dual core is like my dream laptop! :)

    If a Dual core in Asus laptop is not very expensive, the users probably will go for it. i guess that z70va is not a best choice.
