ETA on Asus Dual Core

I am getting a laptop for my birthday on March 10th. Will the new Asus duo notebooks be out by then, specfically the new V6Vae? (Im not sure if thats the correct model #)

 

They start to crawl in by Mid February, with 'refreshes' coming every few weeks from what I've heard from these guys.

The official naming is 'j'

edit: 'They' meaning the Dual cores and not the v6j!

 

what?


You're not going to be able to have one in your hands until into March. We're told not to expect our shipment till at least the first couple days of the month.

 

well i dont have to have it on the tenth, I can wait a week or two after

 

What does your crystal ball suggest pricing might be on the core duos?

 

15% more is what justin says to expect.

 

Acer is selling both Aspire and Travelmate notebooks at good price at compusa. Compusa also seem to carry Vaio FE.

I wish Asus would release their models early.

 

If you guys really want a dual core you really should just wait for the 64bit chips its not that much farther off and vista will be ready by then as well. I was gonna get a new notebook but im holding off by then plus i want to see what asus has to offer by them im sure they will have entirely new ensembles.

 

I was thinking this too. But I'll probably get a new ensemble 1/2 years down the line (when 64-bit computing has established itself further)

Right now, I'm enjoying my w3v alot

 

My current pentium M can handle anything ive thrown at it so far. So ill just wait to get the 64bit with vista for the best possible performance. Plus i leave all the real heavy duty apps for my desktop i dont want it to feel neglected.
