    If cash was not an issue, what Asus model currently available right now in in the next month would you choose?

    Im looking at the A7 series, but I could be wrong!

    Inform me please.

    I like the W2 series cuz it just looks sooo good and pretty light and thin too..for a 17". I'm nofan of the A series, so for whitebooks, I'd opt for those two new MSI 17" models as they are comparable in specs and very nice. but for true power, I like the Sager 5720 hands down.

    I had the same question, and bought an Asus W2V.

    Ok......... If cash is not a problem....... pick a screen size and weight......... I'd say the best choices would be a W2 or a V6...... maybe get a 7200rpm hard drive for either of them and you'll be flying..... a Z70va could be in the mix two, but if price isn't an option you'll probably want more of the flair that the ensemble models will give you.

    Am i the only one that thinks the z70va looks just as good as the W2V. My W2V plays games fine but i still wouldnt concider it a true gaming machine. There are better gaming options out there.

    .... the new W1 replacement would be ideal... it's not going to be around within a month though.
