    heh kool, thanks for the review, its was a ok review, but the benchmarks and the comparison to the zepto machine was nice. They could have had better pictures of the W3J, and there 2nd paragraph called it an A3J <- LOL!

    Thanks for sharing,

    the only reason the Asus beat the Zepto in any of the tests was because the ASUS was T2400 and the Zepto they had was T2300, so on even ground the zepto kicks ASUS's bare AZZ.

    The ASUS wins for battery and style though, wether thats worth an extra 250 pounds I dont know

    He also refers to the W5F as the W5J. If a W5J existed, I'd be all over it. It's too bad he couldn't get that right either. :)

    It all depends on ur personal taste. Whether u like it small and powerful or big n powerful or does it have the "cool" factor. Which i think w3j hav much more cooler looks than the a8j.

    I didnt think it was that great either (the review). It almost sounded like it was done by someone who had only researched the w3j. and didnt actually have it infront of him to experience it.


    maybe I'm just a little biased.

    This review sucks a lot. Example :
    They said the weight is 2,2 NOT 2,6 kg but...on Asus site there is 2,2 so I guess they even didn't check this at all. And the benchmark scores?! Pathetic.
