    yeah... where'd the bears go, coriolis?! :eek:
    Instead you replaced them with a shot of your complimentary ASUS carrying case... :p

    I believe he purchased the Z70Va from CanadaSys.

    Coriolis, looking forward to seeing your review. Thanks for putting the time into it. I was just curious for you z70v and z70va owners.... are you able to carry the unit easily in one hand?

    Well, I've been pondering over whether I could get a tablet PC that would suit my needs (I saw someone with one the other day and it was pretty cool... Plus I COULD take notes on it..). The Toshiba Tecra M4 looks to be the best except that it's battery life isn't too great... but it is more expensive... (maybe I could get my parent to give me some money since I could do more with a tablet class-wise?)...

    but I keep on coming back to the Z71v and the Z70va...

    The tablets are nice machines... however, I find note-taking that way to be awkward. Sure, it saves paper/trees... but you'll eventually have to print out the notes from your computer anyway.. so really, you aren't saving much paper. And most tablets seem fragile to me... esp. when flipping the screens back and forth; but that's just from my personal experience.

    GO ASUS Z70Va! :p

    The Z70VA is actually easier to carry then i expected. What makes it better is that it isn't that thick. And if you cannot carry six pounds around then idk what to tell you.
