    Just thought I'd point out a new A8Js model - the "A8Js-4S034P" - which should be coming in around mid-December according to MilestonePC.

    The new model has its hard drive boosted to 120gb but it still lacks the bluetooth which can only be found in the " A8Js-4S023P" which only has a 100gb hard drive.

    Will Milestonepc charge the same price as it's now or the 120gb will be more expensive?

    According to the page, it's $1600, which is the same price as the A8Js from before.

    When ASUS upgrades models, there are usually no price changes, as it only upgrades to reflect the new market prices, passing the savings along to the end customer.
