Hey guys, has anyone else seen this product on best buy?
Anyone else seen this?

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+Ultrabook+13.3%26%2334%3B+Touch-Screen+Laptop+-+4GB+Memory+-+128GB+Solid+State+Drive+-+Radiant+Black/6906246.p;jsessionid=5E79BACAB8983CCB7C12F65D3BBCCB8E.bbolsp-app02-37?id=1218812711231&skuId=6906246&st=asus%20ultrabook&cp=1&lp=7

It has the same specs as the ux31a plus the touch screen, except it is black. How come only best buy has this? Looks really nice with the blue back lit keyboard IMO. Anyone know when it will be available?

That is a damn good question. Weird that only BB is carrying it, and in black. Like I said, "weird." Anyone have any insight?

ASUS has had quite a few of those in the past

Looks like BB removed the listing altogether. When the hell is Asus gonna release these bad boys?

And it's back, and available!

Guaranteed X-Mas Delivery!

So now, let the battle begin: UX31A Touch vs Lenovo X1 Carbon Touch

Actually, with the price and specs on this BestBuy unit, seems the Surface Pro is a better comparison. Very similar specs, although I am sure the ASUS (at least, I hope) has better battery life. Love that black case, tho. Super slick!
