    So I have a few questions about the upcoming Asus W7J.
    Is the screen res 1280x800 or 1280x768? ProPortable sez 768, and AGear Notebook says 800, while MilestonePC says only WXGA.
    Is the casing made of carbon fibre(I read a thread that implied this) If not, what is it?
    Is the Go7400 128MB dedicated, or 128MB with the TurboCache shared memory?
    When is the actual shipping date of this? (this question is more for the resellers)

    Thanks.

    The full offical specs are here

    So it has 128Mb of DDr2 memory for the gpu dedicated, however no help there on the screen, you will have to wait for a reseller to help u out there.

    Resolution is WXGA which can be 1280 x 768 or 800..... the demo model we had was 768 and Asus specs depict 768 as well... will it be x800, I doubt it, but it's welcomed if that's is infact the case.

    The ship date on the W7's isn't set in stone.... the main shipment of these haven't left Taiwan as far as I know at this point and they have to leave Taiwan, make it to port in California, get logged in at Asus, shipped out to us and then from there they usually ship out quickly, but there is a lot that needs to happen to get to that point.....

    Graphics are identical to the V6j - 128mb dedicated.

    To make it easy - the entire W series is carbon fiber
