    Ok, admittatly, I'm too lazy to go out and find info on this 2006 verson of the W2V, but I have a question about this beauty, and was hoping you guys or resellers could help me. Aside from the Intel Duo chip, are there any other drastic changes to the computer? Somebody on another forum said it has ATI Radeon x1600, 120 gb HD and a 1.3 mp camara but I think they got there wires crossed with another computer since I havent come across anyother website that has said that. I'm just hoping that there isn't that much of a change in terms of performance and looks with the W2V and the W2J :confused:

    The final specs have yet to be revealed.....

    There will be an update, and I would assume it would be somewhat of a drastic performance. I'm pretty sure it would be in same chassis, if not thinner and more better looking

    That's about right... Asus' english on those cards is always done in Taiwan by probably their best english speaking employee at the time..... they're never done here in the US.

    ... that may be one of the dumbest thing I've ever seen...... even though it's not true... you could look at that and think the unit will toast your bread.
