    Hopefully it will be here within a week or two (coming from america) i ordered the version with a 1.2 ghz core 2 duo, 3gb ram and 120gb 4200rpm hdd and dvdrw. I just didnt think that the 32gb ssd had enough storage space (even though it comes with an external drive) This is my first Asus, does anyone else here own a U2E? What are your impressions on it?

    well I've now got my shiny new asus u2e!! And I have to say it really is fantastic, it is far More sleek and portable than any pictures I saw beforehand. It is also very noticeably faster than my previous tz. I haven't had a chance to run any tests yet but will get round to it. Only one gripe about it, which I know has been mentioned in a review, is that the noise levels are higher than I expected - but I would partly put this down to the fact that the vaio tz was incredibly quiet!
