    Was Googling ASUS to make a nice Signature pic, when I stumbled here:

    http://www.fcenter.ru/articles.shtml?notebooks/9738

    They look very ThinkPad-ish on the keyboard/touchpad/screen, don't they?

    Then look at those freebies. Nice looking bag(doesn't look like the one included in the w3v), OK mouse(Not very ergonomic), and is that a MP3 player?

    I haven't seen these before, and it looks like they come with Centrino, are they old or new?

    I'm guessing old since it list as Banias with 855. Secondly, that thing is kinda of ugly and way too thick for such a small notebook. But the freebies seems okay but the mp3 player, yucks...

    I'm got an s200n.... that is the model that was below the S5.... and it was out in various configurations before that... like a p3 version.... so this is a few years old, believe it or not.

    It's tiny and Asus doesn't have a market for this here so it was sold to JVC to sell as their "interlink" model I believe.

    Cool, but tiny.
