Hello to all Asus VX2S enthusiasts



Well, sorry I don't own it yet but I've been looking for any info about this model for almost 5 months (since I saw the VX2 in Hong Kong).



I suggest that all VX2S owners and people with real interest in this model write down here their findings, appreciation, problems, and post pictures, links, reviews, ...

So far, I can only come up with this specifications page (similar page for all their markets as far as I know: Asia, Americas, ...)



Asus UK info page for the VX2S:

http://uk.asus.com/products4.aspx?mo...25&l3=309&l4=0





I personally want to know before purchasing this notebook in the UK:

• Is the built-in 200GB hard-drive either 5400RPM or 7200RPM? What brand and model?
• It apparently comes with a Blu-Ray drive, is there any mention on the packaging of a "Ultimate package" as marketed by Asus?
• Still about this so called "Ultimate package", does the Yellow and Black models sold in the UK come with the docking station (also known as "Power Station")?
• Does the box contain a second battery for the DVD bay as the VX2 used to have in the Asia (Taiwan, Hong Kong)?
• Any difference in the supplied accessories between the VX2S-AK001G and VX2S-AK002G?

Thanks to anybody who can make this thread alive, and especially answer these questions.



Bye for now

Hello



I ordered a vx2s with AK027G reference, it's supposed to be the reference of the "ultimate package" for France.



If I don't forget, i'll answer to your questions, but I can't be 100% sure that the packages for france and UK are identical. Maybe you should contact asus UK ?

the delivery date for my vx2s has been changed to Saturday.

aaarrrrrhhhgg..... I've just received a confirmation email from the reseller to confirm delivery date, but they got the wrong model number on the order!!! on the email it listed the previous none santa rosa VX2 model.

I really wish Asus UK and the reseller can pull their fingers out and get their act together!

it's the first time I bought an Asus laptop and the experience has not been a pleasant one so far.... and that's before I got my laptop



moan over for now....

At the time of writing, I know that AsusLaptop have some unit left. I do also know that they contain the docking station, so this can be considered as the Ultimate Package, for almost the same price as the previous VX2... Though I'm not sure if their retail price is the right one for this particular item... it looks cheap compared to other sites.



Good luck

I ordered my VX2s after the specs has been confirmed in the 'ultimate package'

blueray+docking station etc... so I know exactly what I've ordered.



I sincerely hope it was just a smiple typo, otherwise I will be asking for a full refund, I will not mention the resellers name for now, so they have a last chance to get it right. I will phone them first thing tomorrow to ask what they are playing at. and I will let you know how I got on later...

Don't get me wrong, I'm not 100% sure that this is what's called "ultimate package". Here we have 4 references for vx2s (2 per colour)



VX2S-AK007G and VX2S-AK008G

VX2S-AK025G and VX2S-AK027G at a higher price, so supposedly being that "ultimate package"



I believe that the contents and specs of packages differ amongst countries, so don't take anything for granted.



The price for the VX2S-AK027G was 2510 euro vat included (that's a good price, less expensive than the normal package in other stores !). www.1000ordi.fr (m not affiliated or whatever)
