    Does anyone know where I can find it? I can only seem to find the W3A and W3N which are not what I want.

    Thanks for your help.

    Did they release the W3v in Hong Kong?

    Asus' Chinese site lists the A/N and V models..... but the V looks to be a new addition.... perhaps they are still trying to get rid of the N models before they are released there?

    Thanks,

    I was in Taipei for a business trip back in April, I bought my W3V there on the last day before I returned to Hong Kong.

    I saw an ad. for W3V in one of the local forum (hkgolden), that could be a sign for it launching in HK soon.

    The W3V isn't listed on the Dutch Asus site, but the notebook is availible here, so I would just call some retailers or look on some of those compare prices websites, it might be listed there... That did the trick for me.
    I'm going to get mine this, or next week.

    i am pretty sure i saw the W3V in the 298 computer centre (298 Hennessy Road, Hong Kong); or maybe it was the wan chai computer center (right outside the hennesy road exit on the MTR). i'm not 100% i saw it, but i'm pretty sure. logically, there's -no way- it hasn't been released in HK yet. HK gets things really fast.

    Yeah, I've looked around, but I can only seem to find the W3A and W3N but not the W3V. Ive already been to wanchai computer centre, but maybe ill check out the other place.

    edit- one more thing: when i ask retailers who have W3A and W3N, they say that Hong Kong doesn't have W3V (yet).

    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks
