    You can always get ASUS World magazine from here: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

    Sometimes they don't update the dropdown list with the latest. In that case, get the latest from the dropdown, copy the url, and add one to the issue number to get the latest PDF.

    The new series just launched is the ultraportable/ultrabook/"zenbook" UX21 and UX31, if you've been out of the loop. Before that there were refreshes to the G series (G74SX and G53SX), and a new mainstream K53 series. The sandy bridge refresh to the B series is in the process of launching (and not launching, some models have been silently dropped, which greatly disappointed me). There is a new multimedia system called the N55SF.

    There will be new cedar trail netbooks out next month called the 1025C and 1025CE.

    Beyond that you are going to have to wait until springtime for Ivy Bridge to be launched by intel.

    Thank you for the info. I looking at getting a new g53 and wanted to make sure that a new update of it was not going to happen in the next month or so. I saw that about the b series. I was looking at getting on for a work laptop as I would love to get the dock but looks like the dock is not discontinued. I wonder if they are making a new version of the dock.

    I dont know, they keep going on sale at newegg. I think they are trying to get rid of old stock before the new ones come out. just my thought, not fact.

    The G53SX just came out so the SW might be on clearance. The SW has a better GPU.

    I dunno why but they opted for more VRAM on the SX which means a smaller bus width of 128 bits vs 192 on the SW that has 1.5GB vs 2.
