    I just wanted to know your guys opinion on whether you think the W3J or Lambo is the better buy. Based on price the W3J should be the better buy but how about if the Lambo has a better video card and IPS?

    Thanks

    I am 99.999999% sure the best video card the Lambo can have is an X1600 anything more powerful would require a bigger form factor. Secondly if the Lambo has an IPS screen I will cut off both my arms and my nuts to buy it if I have to. I actually have plenty in savings to buy a bunch of Lambo's just waiting on specs to see if it has the IPS screen.

    Lambo is the better rig - actually let's say it's the "Premium" rig. Larger screen, more ram, faster HD. Keep in mind this is all speculation since nothing official has been announced to my knowledge.

    IMO, the w3j is the "Best Buy" provided the Lambo is as much as is speculated.

    A big difference is going to be the screen, and I don't mean IPS (though that will make a difference).

    If you are buying to game on it, take it to LANs, etc...do you want a 15" standard resolution screen or a 14" wide resolution screen? A 14" would be semi-small to game on most of the time. A 15" would be the sweet-spot between size and portability.

    I plan on getting a W3j for myself, but I also have a 20" Dell Widescreen to connect to when I am not traveling.
