I saw that the w5ae is going to have a dvd burner. Any chance that we will get an option on the z33ae for a dvd burner?

Yes and no....... We've got a shipment of the new 4x super multi drives for the W5/V6 coming in, but they're going to be a couple weeks....... We're going to be offering them with the Z33ae as we did with the old ones...... it's an expensive drive though.... you're looking at a $200+ option. This and the stock S5 pearl color chassis are two things we usually just have and they're pretty expensive because Asus doesn't want them imported to North America, and therefore the right palms must be greased.

why don't they just have the same DVD burners as the old M5s? Or was that something we only got in Europe? I thought the z33 was an upgraded version of the one I have, but maybe not in all respects...

(I've been looking for the z33/M5a in the UK but haven't yet found it, as I wanted to see precisely what had been upgraded, specially the noise. But if it's not got a DVD burner then I'm not so keen!)
