W3v vs. z70va

Originally, I drooled over the W3v and was almost 99% sure I was going to pull the trigger. After reading more of the inputs, I have come to the conclusion that while the ati x600 might be able to manage the recent games, an x700 will ensure that I will be able to be up to date (for a little while at least) with my graphics computing power and occassional gaming. Now I have deduced my decision to this-- In terms of size and bulkiness, how different are these two machines? Seeing the weight doesn't seem to differ too much, but how I guess given the dimensions, I don't have a good picture in my head of wat I am dealing with. Can someone chime in? ~~thx!!!!

 

Didn't want to show these screenies but it'll help you, oh well

The huge monster is the z81sp, the z70va and the z63a(same frame as w3v)

 

hahhaa, man that computer on the left is a monster alright. Sweet...hmm...thx for the pics! I guess it's up to whether I want it ultra strong or super sexy

Picking up the w3v and the z70va, do can u tell a difference between the weight?

 

Actually, I did, the z70va seemed heavy at first since it resally looks light but now I'm quite used to it

Picking up the z63a was different, it was a tad lighter, but If I were to use it and pick it up on a daily basis, I wouldn't be able to tell a difference.

But there is one, specwise, 5.4lbs vs 6.1lbs isn't that big

 

I think you are better off with the Z70VA - like coriolis said, the weight difference is negligible - less than one pound.

Plus, the X700 card is over 1.5x as fast as the X600, and has twice the memory.

Z70VA gets my recommendation! :asus: :centrino:

 

I wouldn't say the weight difference is NEGLIGIBLE... you can be noticed, and if you are going to carry it around a lot (with other books and whatnot), every little bit of weight counts.

the approx. weight difference is about .5 lbs... not too much. 1 lb weight difference is quite significant... but .5 shouldn't be too much to worry about.
