    Hey mate,

    I also asked this Q a week or so ago. Got the general answer that it was coming out around middle of April, although I find that hard to believe...

    Anyone else out there know any ETA's for the W3J's into Australia?

    I wish we had stores on these forums who could help us out like those lucky Americans... :)

    Hey guys,
    The store in Sydney that gave me the mid-April ETA is now saying it's going to be more like early May...it will be available in Australia in the near future.

    Your best bet is to check with the local aussie distributors eg synnex, they will have a much better idea of when the w3j is gonna arrive. They already are listing the W2j and w5j on there list so i imagine that the w3j is pretty close.....my guess is may too.

    Thanks for that guys!

    Yeah, went into a computer store today that specialises in Asus Notebooks and they gave me the same answer, early May.

    ****, really need it now... Suppose I'll have to wait!

    Does anyone know if China has them yet? Stupid question, but you never know!

    Cheers guys!

    I have an account with Synnex and when I asked them about the ETA I was told mid to late April. Having said that in 4 years of doing business with them I have yet to see Synnex come even remotely close to the ETA given by them....

    Awesome thanks! They are advertising them - hopefully they also have them in stock.
