    The W3j will probrably look exactly the same as the W3v, but the colour schemes are not confirmed.

    Too bad they didn't use the W3z scheme

    Edit: Also, too bad the W3z never really appeared anywhere heh...

    http://www.hwupgrade.it/articoli/1363/w3z.jpg

    It would of looked awesome, 14", Turion, Zero Dead Pixel policy, TV Tuner, etc.

    i don't how you can even make anything out there... the pic I posted is from taiwan cnet site from CES2006... anyway, no I've made my decision and Asus is out of the picture, just disappointing... how can they make such awesome notebooks like Powerbook/MacBook, but can't have anything similar for their own line...

    As for that, no thats the W3z. It never made its way here though.

    No idea what the W3j looks like, I wouldn't trust the W3j 'showcase' because it looks like it's just a W3v with a Centrino Duo sticker :)

    Which picture are you talking about? The second is labeled just as a 'W3', but looks just like my W3V. The first is obviously different - look at the extra space on the sides of the keyboard and the angled edges around the edge of the lid.

    I personally think the w3v looks pretty nice, but the style of the w2v/z70va/v6va far surpasses it. I am also praying to the ASUS gods that the w3j will be beautiful, so that I will have no regrets if I decide to buy it.

    Since the word is the V6j is getting the Nvidia graphics chip, looks like w3j is the way to go for me.

    Can't wait to see a pic of the W3j...it's between that and the new Sony for me, and I'm leaning towards the W3j...
