    Looks like the same specs as the A6V(a) that's listed on the international website. This model is now becoming available in Europe, replacing the A6G.

    Sounds like a nice machine drop us a quick line when you have played with it. How are the prices in Taiwan compared to where you live?

    Loaf, keep us updated. It looks like a very promising notebook... specs look nice.
    The only weird thing is that it appears to be WXGA instead of WSXGA+...which is what it SHOULD be considering it has such a nice video card on it. (Usually notebooks with nice graphics chips will have high resolution displays to make it even better)
