    I was worried that I might not be as satisfied with it as I thought I would be when upgrading from my A8Jm, but there is no contest. This is hands down a better, nicer laptop than the A8Jm. I know that may sound like stating the obvious given their price disparity, but there is just something about the physical heft and solidity that a laptop has that can make or break it's appeal for me. The W3J has it, and the A8Jm is somewhat lacking (not totally, just somewhat... little things). That alone makes it worth the upgrade to me. The faster CPU, extra one-touch buttons, vastly superior battery options, and bluetooth don't hurt either. I will admittedly miss the extra 2 USB ports in the rear and the DVI connector, but it's a small price to pay, IMO.

    Have you by chance ever seen a w7j and can make a comparison with it and your w3j? Also, congrats on your new purchase. :p
