    Hey guys,

    Just wondering if anyone knows when the W3J will be heading down under to Oz for a release..?

    Also, normally how much cheaper are laptops to buy in China?

    Cheers,
    Pommie

    Hey Pommie,
    I've spoken to a few shops in Sydney and they've all said they're expecting mid-April release. Price should be around the $3000AU mark, and I'm not sure what the specs will be (hoping 1.83ghz) but I think the australian model will have 2x512mb RAM instead of the 1x1gb in the American.

    As for buying the laptop in China, I'm not sure, but America and Canada are definately cheaper than buying in Australia.

    Hope that helps,
    Steve
