    Sorry this site isn't in english...

    Not sure if anyone has seen or mentioned this before, but this looks pretty cool.
    An entirely silver W3 with a sempron processor and integrated gfx.

    I'm thinking this could be an old model that i've just never noticed before, or just a budget version of the higher end W3 series machine for the foreign markets.

    Funny, several sites in Denmark has a picture of a silver W3 at the W3J-H008P model. I hope it turns out black though, silver is just...bleh.

    I could be wrong but i believe there was a amd w3 called the w3z and it was an old model. Not sure where it was released though.

    It's the W3z, it was only avaliable in certain places, and had a Turion or Sempron processor, and a 200m video chip. It came out in over the summer.

    Coriolis was right. My GF got one W3Z... :D just bought it last month for about 1000 US$. She bought the one with Turion. The one with sempron are cheaper 125 $. The x200 came with only 32mb dedicated memory, scored about 1100 in 3dmarks03. And battery is just about 2 hours with gaming. But it's so d#mnn sexy!! :D :D W3 is the best looking lappy I've ever seen LOL :)

    And it's really killing me that you guys there gonna have your W3J so soon, :mad: and I'm just have to choose between A6ja or A8jm. Dunno why, but w3j is not coming here in China. :rolleyes: :mad:
