    This is important enough to post seperately, but I'm closing it because there is no reason for a reply.

    The A6jc will have the Nvdiai 7300 ---- not 7400. If I change this again, my head will explode. I called Asus on their two BS spec sheets and mad them confirm one over the other... the problem you ask? Part of one and part of the other were correct. I look like a jackass and maybe more so than Asus as I provided it to you, but I'm making this post to clear it up and hopefully that will be the last we hear of it. The only excuse Asus has is that it goes into production next week - so it's not even out of Taiwan....

    ... On that note.. everything is safe with the W5f / V6j / A7j... they will be in soon, but the advanced order list for the W5 and V6's are filling up. If you want a system out of the first shipment, please don't wait until they come in..... I know it happens every time, but the orders that come in on the day we start shipping are last in terms of priority and there may not be units at that time to ship....

    Couple more things:

    W2v / W5ae - these just became special order models.... we're out and yet there is a rebate running till Friday. It'll take two days to get stock, but if you're looking to pick them up for the rebate, there is still time.

    V6va - I checked before I left today and there were only 2 left that I saw... Apparently they did last the month, but I'm not sure how much longer as a lot of people inquired about the IPS screens today and how they're not on the V6j.

    Z33ae - I've got a special promo for members who want one of these... only a handful of them left, but we've got a ton of 9 cell batteries... email me.

    Guys,

    I have to remind you that the W2 and W5 rebates run out on Friday. We're bare in terms of stock on these two models but some other places may still have a couple actually in house.... Asus does still have some so we'll still accept orders and make sure you get the rebate, but it'll take an extra day or so to get them in and then reship it.

    With that said..... as of right this second there is a lone V6va sitting here... I'm kind of curious which one of the curious people asking about how good the IPS screen is going to actually get it. Asus also told me that they found a few more lying in stock if we needed them.... so no one is out of luck if they want that screen, but after our current stock is gone they'll become a special order like the W2v and W5ae....

    Finally...... the A6jc is going into production by the end of the week..... this is confirmed. The W2 will follow soon after and hopefully the W3, although still not confirmed, will get mass produced before the middle of the month.
