    I forget the exact model number translation, but I believe that is going to be on the custom side this year. I think that's the 15.4" A5 because it's the same design as the A7 (which is the 17" Z83) The cover is interesting and a total ripoff of one we did fall for the Koman Breast Cancer Foundation.... We took a bag that mobileEdge sent us, cut it up, and upolstered the notebook...... I swear we should have patented it..... We did it to a white S5 though and only did the lid..

    ... the idea is to make it look like a woman's purse..... not my cup of tea either, but it was different and you can't put a price on individuality.

    Wasn't there a notebook that had leather trimmings on it? I recall it was so...

    I could be wrong but justin doesnt it look more like a 14in wxga or a 13.3 look at it compared to the model to the right of it.

    No... it's not the W2j... that link to that page is incomplete and the pictures down the side don't have a whole lot to do with whats on the right.

    The one to the right certainly has the features of the V6... so if you use that for scale as best you can --- it does look like a 13-14"....... but I just can't place it. There are so many models on the table for next year that not all of them are even on my roadmap and some (the built-on series) ... most likely will never even see Asus' website. There are two new models in the S series which I just simply haven't had time to look into (the S2 and S3) ....... The S5 was a 12" ... the old S1 was a 13" --- the telling sign of an S series was supposed to be no internal optical drive... but I simply can't tell from those pictures

    From what I'm told though CES this year is basically focused on ensembles and a LOT of them....... I'll follow up when I know more, but I know people are mainly only interested becasue it was different and they probably aren't waiting to buy it......... I'll get back to you.
