    just posted a review by ricky in the news and reviews area, here's a linky to it

    Right out of the box, this is a very fine looking machine. I had the opportunity to be there when one of the employees opened up the box for both his and my first looks at the barebone. It makes use of the standard Asus grayish black gunmetal finish, with touches of black to the LCD bezel and keyboard. One of the selling points for the Z70V was its use of a Carbon Fiber alloy to stiffen the chassis, and I'm more than please to say it lives up to its hype. None of the other laptops I've had the opportunity to play with in person could offer this level of rigidity. There is no flex that was of any significance to me. Putting pressure at random points on the back of the LCD screen brought no distortions, which is more than I can say for any of the other laptops I tried. I think it looks like a very flexible visual appeal, allowing it to blend into almost any kind of environment, be it a board room, a classroom or a bedroom.
