    Hey everyone, I am thinking of buying a Z96Js very soon and I have been noticing on many websites that it is now pictured in a black color! Heres an example:
    I personally like the black color more, does anyone know if they are all black now or how I could be sure that I do end up getting a black one? I was thinking of buying from page computer just because they are the cheapest source that has a black one pictured (if that actually means anything)
    Thanks for the input!
    John

    It only comes in one colour unless it has been painted by a 3rd party.

    Perhaps it was the angle/lighting that made it look different.

    Its weird because a picture on the Asus website also had the Z96Js black, perhaps a newer model is now black??

    z96js and z96jp are both still the same color they always were. partially black. pagecomputer is a dropshipper. they use disty to ship. i know which disty they use because that disty advertises all black. pay attention to the vendors that actually carry the product and know what they sell. there is no new model. z96js and z96jp (we will not sell becuase it has no bt and no camera)
