    Guess what who cares about your SAT score? No one does. When you get into college and FINISH they only care that you have a degree and can work. So end this crap about SAT's and get back on topic.

    BTW, paladin, since the Z96j and S96j are kinda the same, can the s96j be fitted with a bluetooth internal or external?

    Internal Bluetooth on the S96J is not available (although if you can find the right module for it somewhere you could install it).

    External Bluetooth would work with any machine that has a USB port. This is really the better solution for the S96J.

    I took my sat at 17. Got 1100 without any prep work just took one of those prep sat tests. Mind you i came in hung over AND drunk for the test. The next time on my second retest i got 1020. I was very sober the second run. Moral of the story is bring some absolut citron in a snapple bottle to the test, will increase your score by 9% give or take. Most likely the reason i was not accepted to any college i actually applied for....

    :rolleyes: I like your style Eddie. Now that weve established that we dont care who got what score on their SAT to go or not go to college, any word from ASUS yet about the Z96j? Powernotebooks seems confident for the end of this month, but i project end of september. I know they are good for at least 2 or 3 more delays. I am definately leaning very strongly towards Compal at the moment...

    If intel has any say in it you are probably right. September would be a good estimate. s96j and z96j competing would be the downfall of vbi. But thats just my oppinion. I know we will sell 10 z96j for every one s96j. If intel has their way then in the future all asus barebones will come out later then asus vbi barebones. If they dont then say goodbye to vbi

    Sorry if this has been asked before, but how come the Z96j isin't vbi? They are basically the same except the screen and a few other minor differences.

    i think it will be VBI compliant.... however it wont be warranted by Intel. VBI"s have a 2 year shell warranty with intel and not with asus. Z96j shell waranty will be with Asus technically, though end users would probably deal with their retailer like Eddie before sending in an RMA to Asus or intel so there isnt really a difference.
