    Well after about a month or so of looking and shopping around I finally pulled the trigger and got a F3JP from newegg. Paid $1298 USD for it. Not a bad deal in my eyes as they just dropped the price $200. When I get it you guys will be the first to hear about it! Look for a review!!!

    I just pulled the trigger 30 minutes ago. Maybe it'll get enough recognition and begin sell-outs like the a8jp...then again, people are more inclined to get the 1-pound-less 14 inch a8jp. Not that I care; lifting any extra weight is part of being a manly man.

    Screen resolution doesn't bug me for as long as gradients look smooth enough in photoshop/illustrator. On my mother's gateway (same res as the f3jp), they're perfect.

    I keep reading of the issues with ASUS' vista upgrade site, but other than that, I'm not worried about the notable hardware issues.

    Kelldore, we're certainly looking forward to the review.
