    In the Z96J i can get 2gb of ram and a 3 year warrenty for the price of the W3J, but is the build quality of the z96j good?

    If the power jack on the Z96j is in the back, I would rather have that.

    Build quality of the two will probably be the same,as there bnoth built by Asus. If you can get the Z96J with 3 years warranty and 2 GB of RAm, the I would go with that. I think it does have the power connector on the rear of the laptop as well.

    The W3J is a top of the line Ensemble, and is made of top of the line quality materials like carbon fibre chassis and brushed aluminium lid, hence it's more expensive.

    The Z96J is also good, just different materials, don't think anybody can say it's bad quality...
