    Will there be a W7J refresh?

    i hope not... cause that means i got *screwed* lol.

    but just wondering... seems like the refresh models are better then the non-refresh, and W3J got a refresh that is hella better.

    Will the W7J get one too? :(

    I wouldn't worry too much about it. The moment you bought your notebook, something better's prob already out anyway :). Even if you bought the refresh, same thing will happen sooner rather than later. Just enjoy what you've got :)

    ps. The W3J refresh is only better in terms of 1.83 vs 2.00 core duo, not much if you're not doing things that really really make use of 100% CPU, multitasking all the time anyway. The only benefit I see is 1 stick of 667MHz RAM instead of 2.

    The W3 'refreshed' to cope with the Intel Price drop last month, but since the W7j was recently released, the specs to cost are pretty set in stone. The next period of 'refreshing'?

    Probrably before school starts
