    Hi guys, I'm having trouble finding any Asus Ensemble units that have a 15.4" screen and a dedicated graphics card. It seems as if the F3Jm is the only one I can find here in the US. Does anyone know if there are others that I am missing or that might be released soon? Thanks in advance.

    The V1J is a 15.4" model... not sure if it's available yet.

    That's true but I have a feeling the V1J is a little out of my price range, won't it cost somewhere close to 2k?

    for North America yes, the F3Jm is currently the only Ensemble unit.

    As Darrick Mentioned the V1J is a laptop many are looking forward to come to NA, also it's price is estimated around $2000 USD give or take, since it has not been released or finalized.

    If you want alternative to Ensemble units, there are 2 models which are built-on, using the same chasis as the F3Jm, the S96J and Z96j both offering similar features but with the ability to custimize as you want.

    I find it funny how the ghost of the V1J haunts nearly every Asus or Im thinking about purchasing an Asus notebook thread.

    It'll sell like hot cakes when it gets there, no doubt... And why not, it's well worth the pricetag says I. :)

    Well, yeah, and that's pathetic... but it's the only 15.4" intel ensemble.

    The V1 probably will be out of your price range if you're looking towards the F3 now.... and although all new models that take a long time to make it to the states look as if they're the holy grail of notebooks..... something will happen to make it not a huge seller....... Either the US office orders it will too high of a configuration or tries to match the system to the wrong price point...... which means either it'll be too expensive for the masses or the configuration till be slightly lower then what high end forum members would want or expect.... but it'll still be a great unit.
