    After months and months of deciding, I have finally seen the laptop I wish to purchase, the Asus W3V. Now the question is, where do I buy it from?

    Right now I'm looking at Canada Computers, but their website says there are none in stock right now. I assume there will be a few on Friday morning at the showcase, but still would like to find out if anywhere else has a better deal.

    I appreciate the help.

    Actually, while we're at it, one beef I have with the W3V is the screen resolution, it's a bit low. Will there be a newer model, similar (or exact [ :p] ) to this with SXGA? I tried looking through the other thread but am confused with all the model numbers floating around. But like someone mentioned there, I don't want to purchase something now only to see something better in two weeks.

    The W3V will not get WSXGA+... WXGA on a 14" widescreen is quite ideal already. I think WSXGA+ would be overkill for many, and impractical for ASUS to produce a model that only a handful of people would be interested in buying.

    So to answer your question, no, ASUS will not produce a WSXGA+ model [ :(]
    If you want more resolution, try the V6V [|)]

    I've also been looking around, but none of the resellers have it out yet.

    Maybe in a few weeks, or email the other resellers, like CanadaSys, Pacific Notebooks, etc.

    Agreed... considering the W3V just made it into the states not too long ago, it should take a few weeks for the W3V to make its presence into Canada.
    Patience, my friends...[ :D]

    Hi,

    I just got a new Asus V6 and I'll posting my comments soon, but I want to comment on a dealer as finding a good one in Canada and (Vancouver especially) isn't easy. I bought it from New Type Computers (http://www.ntcw.com) and couldn't be happier with the service, speed, price and professionalism. If you're thinking of getting one (and they have all models in stock) I highly recommend them ! Also, you should call or email them for the latest price, because the website isn't always accurate (and you might be pleasantly surprised !)

    [ :)]

    The ones I look at are pacific notebooks, canada sys, pccom and CC.

    I would highly suggest NCIX.com.
    They're definitely a top PC/Notebook retailer for all of Canada. Lowest prices I've seen too.

    Another one I found selling Asus notebooks was Anitec.ca.
