    Isn't it hot?
    Why do they sell only white one in US?
    Only one thing missing - DVI output :-(

    I love black laptops. I love Asus laptops.

    Black + Asus = TRUE LOVE.... you just can't go wrong with that combo!
    I wish I had a black W5F :(

    I believe ProPortable did have the black ones but they were a limited supply.

    Yea, Canada gets the Black one and the White one as options, but the US gets only White, as of now.

    I don't know, I like white better. In other words, I guess I want an iBook that's not an iBook.

    And I can't find anything about it. I really want to buy this but I live on the east coast of the US and don't think they sell ASUS notebooks here at retail stores.
    It's a **** shame.

    FYI. The surface of both the black and white is slightly matt, well at least not as glossy as the apple ibooks.

    Pretty sure you mean the W7J. The z35f will come out sooner, but has integrated graphics. No firm release date on the W7J, we can speculate end of summer and hope for sooner (please! :p ).
