    I found this link the other day while I was browsing. It's a pretty sweet Asus link to have so I thought I'd share it with everyone. It's basically a shortcut to every model Asus makes, and It organizes them very well. It might also be a good link to add to one of the Sticky's...for official easy access to info on any model one desires, this link is the ticket.

    Sometimes It's slow to load because they update it constantly.

    Enjoy. :)

    PS, I don't think this exact link has been posted before, but If it has, then just treat it as a refresh.

    that picture is from the W7J commercial. she's practicing with her band in her bathtub, displaying the w7's ability as a video conferencing device. she's the replacement of the w5 lady.

    Oh well, It really should be listed in one of the Sticky's then. It'll always be helpful to everyone, both new to Asus and regulars. And since It shortcuts to the official product pages on Asus's sites, they're always updating it...so It will always be current and relevant.

    I can't wait to hear some new news on the W7J's North American release. I really hope we'll get a choice in colour. I think I would prefer the black, but I know others love the white...so a choice would be ideal, even though it might be asking too much. Maybe they'll bump up the video card by the time It hits our shores. :)

    That's because the Z models really suck, so Asus hides them from the public...I'm only kidding, good point. I guess Z model fans will have to find their official info elsewhere, sorry :)

    well the Z models can have so many different configs that there is hopelessly no way of displaying all the options.

    The 'Z' series is non-existant everywhere, but N.A. The Z70 is the M6, the Z71 is the M7, Z63 is the W3, Z33 is.....M5 or S5, don't recall.

    z33 would be the M5.
    it seems like s5 didn't really make it to NA, except in those chinese computer shops.

    Insane, I disagree.

    Asus always lists laptop specs in ranges anyways, even for their ensemble systems (because they too come in varying specs from Country to Country, and because they can also support specs that differ from how they might have been shipped)...so technically they could have easily added a specific/separate barebones section to the list, or put the Z designation beside the corresponding chassis It succeeds or is based apon If they wanted too. My point is, just because the Z series has so many variables, doesn't mean they couldn't include them in the list, they could simply list the static specs like the screen size and the amount of USB ports it has etc, and provide compatible ranges it supports in all the other fields. Just like they do on the site for previous built on models like the M5N etc...Just because the series has so many variables and options, doesn't make it impossible or any harder to list.

    I don't know why I decided to write that out, It really doesn't matter...For whatever reason, the Z series isn't on the list, and that's that. Aside from the Z series, It's a good resource for Asus fans to have...ALMOST all of the models they offer are listed there in one place, and It's really easy to navigate for the latest official info on any given model. :)

    Does anyone else notice how she's wearing a TOWEL inside the tub? Most people I know take a bath in the nude...

    Asus, the notebook of choice for the quaker community? ;)

    I was going to say Amish, but that just didn't make sense on the face of it...
