    I am not sure whether anyone has actually posted the full spec for the a8jm. But I found this on the page for my country...

    http://my.asus.com/products4.aspx?modelmenu=2&model=1065&l1=5&l2=26&l3=0

    It looks kinda interesting for me and I am planning to get one of them too... Hopefully the price will be much more cheaper here due to the fact that most of the computers/notebooks are cheaper in Asia + there is no tax for computers in my country.

    Maybe its not as sexy as the W3 but if the price is right this one will be hard to beat.

    I've heard from reputable sources (Justin at ProPortable, I think, or maybe Danny at CanadaSys) that the A8J will be of comparable price as the W3J, maybe $100 cheaper or something. That's in N. America -- I'm not sure about elsewhere though I can't imagine that the price difference would be substantially more or less than that anywhere.

    There are more differences than aesthetics, and you can check other threads on that. The biggies in my opinion are that the A8J has a DVI output and is lighter, but the W3J has significantly superior build quality and looks like might have superior battery performance.

    "supposedly" the A8Jm will be launched in Canada Mid May, with the barebones version hitting the US soon after.

    however take that date with a grain of salt
