Good afternoon,

Before I start I want to say that I have always been a fan of asus products. I've used a multitude of different things that you guys make and offer. I recently bought a Asus laptop that I returned due to a technical issue. Normally I would be unhappy about that but it actually worked out perfect now that you have a new line of laptops releasing. I am frustrated however at the difficulty in securing information about the new laptops. It seems that there is not much information available online or directly through your website. I figured it best that I make a list of all of the questions that I have, some of them will be repeats, but I think the answers will be helpful to all parties considering your products.

1). Why does it seem that the laptop is available at so few retailers? I've had limited success finding the high-end model at different websites, but I've had no success finding the CH 71 laptop anywhere but Newegg. I am not anti-Newegg it's just they don't provide a lot of product details and they have an industry worst return policy. When can we expect to see this laptop show up at more national retailers?

2). Will all versions of the G751 have IPS screens? The press release would lead you to believe so but it doesn't specify. It says that the JM, JY, and JT models have it but there are multiple JT versions. I saw aNother post asking the same question and it appeared to be unanswered.

3). If you order CH 71, what is the exact configuration available for drives? I understand about the M SATA slots and how they work but I am confused on the tolal amounts of slots available. If I order the CH 71 model which only comes with a traditional hard drive can I later add a SATA III ssd in addition to the standard hard drive?

4) what is the shipping date for the CH 71?

5). Are all of the laptops using red backlit keyboard or only the high-end ones?

6). Will Asus offer an extended warranty directly? Or will they only offer reseller warranties?

Thank you for a quick response.
