    I understand that the W2V will be released with an X700 Radeon, I was wondering if a later model or same model of the V6V or W3V will have the X700/X800 video cards. Right now I'm leaning toward the Acer 8104 because it includes so much more for its price tag, but I really like the design of the V6V more. Thanks.

    Not a chance..... the cards are too big and consume way too much power to fit in those small machines.... Put it this way.... the W3 is probably going to be the best 14" widescreen you're going to see on the market from anyone for the rest of the year. IT goes to show you that till now, no ones' even been putting a 64mb x600 into a system that small.....

    The W3 and V6 are packed as tight as they can be and the form factors for the the x600/x700/x800 cards are all different and there just isn't room, period..... so you're not going to to see anything of that size with anything better for a while.

    Thanks,
    Justin

    i really wish the w5(yes w5) had more ram expandality. Is it really because of how small it is. Otherwise it fits everything i want in a notebook.maybe if the us had the black model that would make it evern sweeter. sorry didnt want to start my own thread about a future w5 model just because the w5 wasnt in the title.
