    Ordered my W3J from Milestonepc.com today, i was going to order from NCIX.com, but milestone was cheaper and the customer service i received from Danny was awesome. I'll have it either friday or monday, I'll be sure to post pics and leave my impressions.

    Did you do any of the upgrades? The 2GB Ram looks like a pretty good deal!

    Congrats!

    Once you get it in your hands, it's harder than you think to stop using it to take pictures. ;)

    "grats!! i almost did the same... order a W3J, but since i'll be takin it to class and such i opted for the slightly lighter/smaller W7J.

    Honestly though, the W3J is a beast of a computer, if i wasnt hell-bent on getting the lightest form factor possible (to save my vertebral column a few years of pain) i'd have opted W3J too, it seems like a notebook gamers paradise for the money! :)

    I just ordered mine also waiting for the new model in Canada, although I was careless(guess I just couldn't wait to get mine) and messed up the billing address, I think it's solved now though so I should get mine shortly. :)
