    Hi all,

    Does anyone know of a dealer that sells the W3J- OR A8Js barebones? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Right... the W3 and A8 are Ensemble notebooks; they come pre-configured from TAIWAN and so if the reseller wanted to sell the barebone, s/he would have to open the box and the notebook to strip it of all of its parts. I doubt anyone would want to do that...

    W3J and A8Js are not manufactured for people of your needs. You can probably get the same A8Js quality from a barebones model that they already offer.

    As for the W3J, I doubt you will ever see a barebones offering that approaches its build quality/engineering.
