Advent Vega; Sold Out.

Posted on 13 December 2010

We’ve already had an Advent Vega [tracking page] order cancelled due to high demand but its looking increasing like new stock isn’t going to arrive before Christmas.

As someone that works extensively in the Web when in the office and as much as is practical when on the go, I’m very interested in the latest Chrome and Chrome OS announcements.
