Based on new information from Intel, Asus will begin shipping this week, updated Sandy Bridge-based products after the revised design is released by Intel. This fast response from Asus aims to prevent any further inconvenience and interruption to customers. For notebook products, Asus will begin by rolling out revised G73SW, N53SV and N53SN models, followed by N43SL, N43SN and N73SV notebooks.
For customers planning to buy new notebooks with Intel Sandy Bridge technology, Asus has clearly marked all packaging, including shipping cartons and gift boxes, to indicate the use of revised hardware. Just look for a sticker displaying New Revision Certified Design, located at either the palm rest areas of the notebook or on the product box itself. Rest assured products displaying this information have been fully updated
