    I was at the local computerstore here in Norway today. And I saw this computer (see link at the bottom): ADVENT 2015. It has a totally awesome screen. Its perfectly glossy and extremly sharp. 12inch with 1280*800. I dont think no ordinary store in Norway has a W3 I can see in real life. The ADVENT computer has very okey spec to its price too here in Norway (11995kr=1999$). My mind was close to think that this could really compete against my W3 wish. But when I discovered the batterycapasity I just left the store. 90min. Thats just sad.

    Does anyone know if the W3 screen is better or worse than the screen on the ADVENT 2015 (I think its an oem-computer so it can be under different names)?

    Here is a picture ( http://www.simviation.com/yabbuploads/16042005.jpg ). But its taken with my Nokia 6630 so you can not see how good the screen is.
    Anyhow.. The screen on this thing is very good.

    I really think that the WXGA resolution on the W3 may be a some small height to me. Like on this forum you have to scroll so much.
    WXGA is okey for a 12inch. But this Asus. Hmm.
    Is it just me that think the height on a WXGA is not so okey on a 14inch?
