You mean that they haven't yet posted the Z96J, but they won't ever post the S96J? So, correct me if I'm wrong; the S96/S62 are included in the VBI program while the Z96/Z92 aren't, yet this is independent of the fact that Intel owns...

After hearing so many good things about Asus laptops, I've kept them in mind now that I'm in the market for a new laptop. At the moment, I'm particularly interested in the S96J/Z96J, but I can't find any mention of them on Asus's...

WOW! This forum is amazing, (not that it was much of a secret). Thanks for all the quick responses, especially those I tried to solicit. I was not expecting so much in so little time, so you must excuse my belated follow-up (I'm...
