So...ISTNC has announced that its z71v's are in-country and will be shipping in a few days. Has anyone heard anything about the alleged W2?

the barebones and the complete systems are two different animals.

The W3 will be here first and it's what Asus is focused on right now. The W2 is set to be here "sometime in April" ...... I'm looking at between the 20th and the end of the month at the earliest.

The Z71v's are in the US and weren't as short as Asus said they were going to be originally. The units color will be gunmetal gray with silver trim...... that was just confirmed today when they opened them.

Thanks,
Justin

"weren't as short as Asus said they were going to be originally"

They shipped more or the unit is physically larger?
