    Good news everyone! We'll have the W2v's tomorrow and we'll start shipping the pre-orders on Thursday. The remainder of the initial shipment of 45 is down into the single digits. We have a supplimental shipment arriving early next week to fulfill whatever backorders are taken this week after we run out of the first shipment. Normal shipments should start by early September.

    I'll verify everything about the units tomorrow when I get a chance to take mine out of the box.

    Pictures, please, I beg of you! :D

    I found the w1n very nice looking(Love the hinge!), too bad I'm not in any need of a 17", as of yet of course...

    I hope by the time I need it, the w3v...wait....hmmm, what WILL the next generation of the W1n series be called...?

    Well the next W1 only has like a 5% probability of us being able to bring it in....... and we'd still need Asus' approval to do so anyway....... so right now, it's not happening.

    The pictures on our site are pretty good, but I'll take some of mine tomorrow when I rip it apart to verify all the specs.

    Excellent, can't wait to hear the reviews! I was in the market for this a long time ago, but no one knew when I'd be out. Now it finally is. :D
