Saw this guy at Best Buy, and looked like a decent deal:

ASUS - Laptop / Intel® Core i5 Processor / 14" Display / 8GB Memory / 750GB Hard Drive - Platinum - U46E-BAL5

I'm looking to replace a W3J, and this looks like it will fit the bill, and is a decent value.

I just got the U56E & love it. Mine is a 15.6" screen w/6G & 640GB, otherwise the same, I think. Runs very quietly & fast. Build quality is great & the materials are nice. Returned an Acer with an i7 that had issues, but felt like a plastic toy. I am glad that I looked at the ASUS! Since the store wants to sell you a warranty, chances are they won't tell you that the ASUS has a 1 Yr accidental damage warranty! That's in the case of Fire, Water, Drop or lightning! That saved me a bit on a Square Trade warranty right there.
I am having an issue making restore disks, but the system seems solid.

Cheers,
kev
