The response to the webnote was to post in the 'new product suggestions' forum, which I've done. No response there yet. Pretty ridiculous IMO, you'd think if they weren't sure they'd contact the person in-the-know to get back to me, instead of having me reach out again in a different form. On the other hand, I suspect if they knew something, they would have told us by now. So I guess maybe ASUS hasn't provided a firm date. I have seen Mid-November as a possible date elsewhere, hopefully that could be when we see it here.
If you look at the number of views on this thread, it is hugely popular compared to other threads in the Laptop forum. People are clearly interested in the ASUS G751JY / G751JT yet there is a distinct lack of information. If I hear nothing in the next two weeks I'll probably buy from Xotic PC -which I'd prefer not to do as they are U.S. based and would be a hassle dealing with the warranty from the UK should anything go wrong.
