Click "add to wishlist" on the red one. Should be in this week.

Great deal. Got the staples version with a DVD drive that I have never even looked at...

Rather have the better wifi card though..

Thanks..Red is little to bright for me but thanks anyway..

I always see the information on Asus recently. I want to get one.

Is the ram upgradeable?

I think the description on the silver model is incorrect.
The one they have on sale in-store @ $399 this week is a Sandy Bridge i3.I looked at it.

However, the red one may be correctly described as a 3rd gen. We'll see.
I was about to order from Amazon this morning, so I have to decide if I can live with red if it is indeed an Ivy Bridge, to save $100.
I'll give my local store a call and ask when they are expecting it in stock.

Quote from kat0908 : Is the ram upgradeable?

No, but its a great candidate for a 7mm SSD drive, and better wifi card.
After upgrades, people are reporting it turns into a very quick lightweight unit.

Yes, confusing. They have both models for the same price. They look identical.

Couldn't pull the trigger but for $100 less, I might.

So, which online retailer would you guys buy from ?

You definitely want the X202E in this group.

J&R may price match if you call them up. If so, no tax. They've been around forever. You can tell them they're in store, but in the red color and you want the silver. Give them the link.
