    So... i had my mind set on buying Asus M50sv-a1. i placed the order about 3 weeks ago and i still havent received my laptop. So, i called the store up and found out that they (being Asus) is phasing out the M50sv-a1 and that my order has to be cancelled!

    So it is now cancelled! And i am back searching for a new laptop.

    Is there a replacement?

    From this Australian website below, you can see the specs of the new refresh. Keep in mind that it's in AUS dollars. Given that Australia sells Asus for at least a few hundred USD more, I'd say the new refresh should be ~$1500 USD
