    After weeks of searching for the right laptop and almost ordering a dell XPS I changed my mind the last minute.

    I ordered an ASUS w3j instead because;

    a) Recovering from a back injury and lugging around a 4 kilo Dell XPS everyday didnt seem like a good idea. The 2.2 kilo of the w3j seems a bit more manageable.
    b) The positive reviews/reactions on the Asus w3j in this forum.

    Now i'll have to wait a week 'till it is delivered. I'll you guys/gals know how it turns out !

    Ries, I decided on the W3J for the same reason. When considering the specs of the laptop and its small size/weight, it was an easy decision.

    More like 2.6 kg with the cd and 8cell battery in place but i guess most manufacturers strip there notebook before they weigh it.
