    Dunno if you all care or not but this deal has been going on for a while. $100 rebate. The rebate expired at end of December but they renewed it (i think becasue rebate.asus.com was down). So get it while it lasts.

    Wow.. Canada Computers has pretty good deals on their clearance laptops (Jan 2 - Jan 7)

    http://www.canadacomputers.com/clearance2007/

    The F3Sv-X4 says $100 savings, but if you click it there is also a $100 mail-in rebate, which is also an amazing offer.

    Sounds good but I have to sell my old model before I can upgrade.

    Is there a lees cost version with less HDD space RAM or CPU and graphics that can be upgraded later?

    Do any of the new models offer TV tuner anymore, or some kind of video in capture for monitoring or recording?
