    I gotta admit that the Bamboo line looks kind of cool.

    Yeah they do but the 18.4" looks like a mess.
    2 touch pads and glossy interior = fail.
    Not to mention it's underwhelming GPU, it should have the top of line offered by Nvidia.

    so when Asus says they'll be released in June, they mean June of 2011 right?

    I wonder why they offer TWO touchpads on the 18.4" model ... ease of use for a right or left handed person? :confused:

    Seems like a useless feature but it would be cool to show off.
