I spoke to our RM salesman today trying to get a demo unit of the new RM Minibook (http://www.rm.com/HE/Products/Product.asp?cref=PD1024415) but RM only have 1000 of the units total to sell at the moment so have none available for loan to school for a demo. Their sales staff don't even have demo units yet. It seems Asus only have 2000 of them in the UK, kept 1000 for themselves to sell before Xmas and gave RM 1000 to sell to schools. My salesman said the interest about this device from schools has been HUGE! They orginally planned to launch it in January at the BETT show but so many people enquired about it they moved the release date forward. Hence the lack of stock. Hopefully I can get a demo unit in December:-) Colin
