    Just a heads up..... Although stock is going to be limited on everything till the start of May, Asus will be making limited deliveries to some select dealers in the mean time.

    I know most places, including us have been very low on V6's for a week and now that reviews are popping up, everyone wants them and only a couple come in every day until the next big shipment comes from Taiwan.

    We're low on W3's, but have a little supplimental shipment of 15-20 that we managed to get for next week.

    If stock is low, anywhere...... if you want the systems, get your orders in. Thats the best way to get a system from one of these smaller shipments before the larger shipments come in the next couple weeks. With the reviews of the V6's..... and the word spreading on the W3s.... if you can hold tight a few extra days you'll have a unit as opposed to waiting another 2-3 weeks.

    So... I guess I can say... in this case a back order may not be ideal... but a lot of people missed the boat on the pre-orders and now that word is spreading about them there just isn't going to be enough of them to keep up with demand.... so the line starts again.....

    Can't wait till mid may when the stock is healthy....

    Thanks,
    Justin

    excellant news, mid-May is when I plan to buy...yipee! will you have all the accessories for the W3 as well Justin? i.e. secondary battery

    Justin also, does the W3 have the RF wireless built in like the W5....i know that on a particular site, it stated that there was RF wireless capabilities, but i see no mention of it at the asus or your website.

    The batteries should be in by the next shipment.. so a 2-3 weeks.

    The W3 doesn't have RF built in, I can assure you of that.... but it does come with an RF mouse like the S5 did... and an RF dongle to use it.... but not built in.

    Thanks,
    Justin

    And the first shipment is gone......

    15-20 more W3v's are coming in on Tuesday night and are going to ship on Wednesday. I don't know how everyone elses stock is holding up, but the small shipment coming in on Tuesday will be the last until atleast the following week.

    Just a heads up.

    Thanks,
    Justin
