    It's cheap.... Asus' is covering the warranty and it's not a bad machine...... but it's certainly not the fancy type machines like the W and V seriese are.

    Thanks,

    Oh man, whether or not I could disclose anything...... good luck seeing a discount on Sonoma notebooks before Christmas. Yonah isn't going to somehow be the first chipset from intel to actually come out early or even on time....

    I don't know where you're hearing the rumors, but sonoma hasn't even seen it's peak yet I don't think.

    Thanks,
