Hmm, but about the black color... I'm not sure if this can be called a "significant improvement". 🤨 But, in general, it seems that ASUS listened to users.

Well, why are you all so happy? This thing will still cost a fortune. 💰 It would be better if they focused on reducing the price rather than these small cosmetic changes.
