    Hi everyone.

    I really like the Asus U series from what I've seen, and I'm waffling between two, the U35F-X1 (trimmed down U35) and the U30jc-X3 (not sure how the X3 is different than the B1). Aside from the obvious spec differences, it looks like the keyboards are different, and the U30jc appears to be full aluminum rather than just the lid (?). I know these are relatively new, so there may not be many people who have used both, but any feedback or commentary would be great. Most notably the keyboard.

    The A1, B1, A2B stuff is confusing, ha.

    oh and the Asus site shows the U30jc as having a "color shine" display, but not the U35. Are the displays different? Sometimes manufacturers will give a more full name of the display in some models, even if they're the same as the ones without the name distinction, hence me askin.

    (edit: just figured out the U30jc is all aluminum, at least more so than the previous U30's)
