    For of those interested the W3N, ie based on old dothan cpu and i855 chipset and ATI 9700 gpu, can now be found at select retail outlets.
    For eg surpass in brisvagas.
    http://www.surpass.com.au/content/standard.asp?name=ASUSW3000N

    Its price is AUD $2,999, which is quite good, for comparison the M6Ne orginally retailed for $3500+, when it was released about a year ago!
    Will be interesting to see if/what other models we will get out here.

    There is no reason why not, you'll just have to find a retailer stocking one. My guess is that there will be alot more models with various cpu speeds instock around australia in the next few weeks.

    Wow, great news. If they brought this model to the US, I would definitely get it. Hopefully the US and Canada will be receiving news soon.
