    Not really...?

    It should be the same unit, perhaps batch number or something. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

    I've been checking in with NCIX every once and a while seeing what their prices are like. (I think I'm responsible for the $110 price drop ;) ) The unit they're selling at the moment is the original W3J stock which has a slightly slower cpu (1.86 instead of 2.0) and 2x512MG 533 Ram instead of 1x1024MG 677 Ram. If you wait a lil until they start to stock the Refresh model you'll get a slightly (<--- probably an overstatement) better computer. Probably not worth the wait.

    If you're buying in Vancouver, Atic has the W3J (non-refresh) for $1890CAD. Beware the Dragon Lady!!!!!!


    Edit: Just remembered, if you want to avoid the wrath of the Dragon lady (recommended), NCIX will match any Canadian price listing. Point them to www.atic.ca for a fat $12 discount... buy yourself something nice ;)

    I think buying from NCIX should be okay... I've passed by their store before and they always have lots of people there buying machines.
