    ASUS have quietly sliped a new upgrade into the M6 series of notebooks, which seems to be tied in with the release of the new dothan cpu's.
    To top it off there is already a reasonable review of this new model inc. some benchmarks !! Pretty amazing as it took several months to seen any reviews of the M6 model !
    Hopefully this means that it won't be too long till this (Ne) model is available instore.

    Here are the links !

    The 2 year warranty is really nice and Asus makes great products. Too bad they didn't throw in 128 MB of video memory instead of 64 MB. 128 MB is standard with many noteboks offering 256 MB. Since the vast majority of my gaming is GBA emulation a 128 MB card will suit me fine, but I'd never go 64 MB these days and I'd hope the GPU is upgradable. I personally would look to get a 64 bit laptop anyway. Dothans are coming off the line out of date with the 64 bit era going mainstream later this year and taking over in 2005. [} :)]
