    I'm talking about in terms of problems.

    Does one have a significantly more than the other?

    When i search on youtube the Jw problems, a lot more comes up then the Jh.

    - Missing keyboard strokes
    - Touchpad randomly dying/moving on its own

    ...are the most common ones. Most users who do a BIOS update and toy with the drivers fix both issues, however it doesn't always work for everyone.

    The JH had MUCH MORE problems than the JW imo aka the blue screen of death (they're fixed now).

    @Voodooi: Actually, it was a grey screen of death. Unless you were in starcraft, in which case it was blue and gray :p

    Anyways, asus has fixed all the problems on the JH. Not so for the JW.

    If you get a JH now it should be running the latest bios etc. I know mine came shipped without a single problem and has been rock solid so far. Your results may vary!

    Oddly, mine came with the newest bios and drivers, except for the vbios...
