i still say "Ay-sus", too, can't change it.

I say "Benk" for "BenQ" even though they pronounce it "Ben-Cue".

I actually know that the 'official' pronunciation is uh-seuss' from talking to their tech support once or twice. (Which was excellent, btw.)

To keep it on topic, I wish they were planning to release something to compete with the Acer 8100 series a little more. I'd be all over it, with the new look and tricked out specs...

I'd guess most of these laptops would be sold in the US after Computex which is in June.

Yeah... I have a couple of scratches on mine too nothing too noticeable, but I know it's there.
What sucks even more is that the silver paint is somewhat starting to come off ...(the silver lining near the LEDs at the front)

Now that you bring that up i can see where the silver paint is real thin and scratches off easily. They should have left it unpainted, or used silver plastic or something.

Is it possible to remove the entire silver frame ya think? ;-)

The silver frame is almost the only thing keeping me from buying the M6Ne 15" SXGA.

I'm sure you can sand it off and buff it

And I swear it's probably just because I'm retarded and from Baltimore, but does anyone else horribly pronounce the manufacturer's names...

For example, even though I know it's ah-sous, I still say aey-sus for Asus

or it's supposed to be a-re-ma, but I say air-ra-ma for Arima
I'd say that arima should be ah-ree-ma, due to my japanese background. could be wrong though.......

You could sand it off (with super high grit sandpapar, atleast 600-800, if not 1000-1200), then use some polishing compound like the stuff used on cars after being color sanded (did it to my 63' falcon). Or just start with a semi rought 400 and then move up to 100, but i would be real hard to get the whole silver area due to the compuond curves and such. Or you could try using the special paint remover made for plastics, and then leave it the native black color. Or just get one and say that the paint coming off just shows how much you use it and don't worry about the vain image aspects of a great performing notebook.....

//The silver doesn't look bad at all, just sucks that it scratches off when handled rough. I wouldn't let the silver deter you from buying an excellent notebook. It rocks....
