    Yeah..... some of the things are still fuzzy so I do have to make sure everything is exactly as I expected...... but I initially thought 2300.. same as the V6... but I think it's going to be well below that... also, I don't think it's going to be lower because of the configuration........ the only thing I've got to double check is the optical drive... I'm pretty sure it's an 8x dual layer.... but if it were a combo drive it wouldn't be more than $70 less... So, I do have to nail things down before the pre-order goes up... but it's looking good.

    Thanks,
    Justin

    the 8x dual layer is confirmed.... I'm really really excited about how Asus is going to be marketing this thing...... nothing is going to touch it.

    Get the heck off of this forum, you've become a waste of space in an otherwise great forum.

    I'm getting calls and emails from people reading this particular thread who are too lazy to look for the thread with the link in it.... so I posted it. Deal with it, I'm providing a service and you're the only one who *****es and complains.

    Thanks,
