    Yes, i think i now almost everything about them. But V6 is a soberb notebook, and I prefer it. I read a few critics about it, and i want a inparcial opinion about V6. M6 as a visual quite old compared to V6, but in my opinion is a good notebook too. W3, inside is a quite equal to V6(in some features)but i think that the TFT is little.Thank you.

    I love asus!

    You're looking at basically the same computers performance wise..... they all basically have the same parts.

    1. M6v.... larger screen

    2. V6v..... thinner and lighter

    3. W3v..... smallest package you're going to find all of that stuff in...

    It's really a matter of the pocket book and what screen you prefer. If you think the W3's screen is too small for you as an everyday notebook, but can see that the V6 seems mostly like an updated, smaller M6..... then you're going to be most happy in the middle there with the V6. You can't go wrong with any of them, but finding an impartial opinion in this forum is going to be impossible. My favorite notebook that I own right now is the W3.. and I have all them and also sell all of them.... They all sell about the same, but for my current needs, I wanted all of the power of the M6, but in a smaller package.... that's why the W3 was best for me. For you, I think the V6 would suit you better though.

    Thanks,
    Justin

    Well, I don't like to be hard on anyone, but there is a search option so you can find out everything you need about them.

    I should be the most biased person here, but at the same time as long as your choices are between Asus systems, I don't think I've ever steered anyone in the wrong direction... I know what's best for particular uses and that's what makes it easy. When I say you can't go wrong, that's almost 100% correct..... the problem then comes when you have to decide on one over the other. Thats when my famous line comes in..... think about the top 4-5 things you need this computer for..... IE: weight, size, performance, features, battery life, gaming, office work, etc.... if you put those in order from the most important to the least, you'll nail down one computer and one computer only.... it works.

    Thanks,

    Looks to me like you want the V6, thus I to say go that way. The M6 is a great choice if your budget is tight, and the W3 is better if travelling is your main concern. The v6 is right in the middle like justin says. And performance betw all three is very close, so it really comes down to your usage patterns...
    Thus when asking these types of questions its best to give us an idea of what you plan on using the lappie for.
