    Finally I've found some pictures of Z96j. They are not really photos but anyway you can see how it look like. For me it is disappointing. I expected it to have a DVI. But there is no DVI on Z96j :( There is Docking station connector instead of DVI :mad: . Does anybody know if coming docking station with DVI will support this connector?
    For me it narrows my choice to A6j and MacBook Pro. A8j would be nice but nobody is sure then it will be available. Too bad.... can't really wait any longer
    Need DVI for external monitor....

    I think Justin posted a picture of the Z96j a few threads back. It looks very similar to the A6 series.

    How about the video card and the build quality? I would prefer the fastest card available and also a nice aluminum case, but as long as the thing is build well I'm cool with plastic.

    both has good built quality, although not aluminium

    a8j is slated to have nvidia graphics, 7600 go according to some, 7400 go according to others. not reallie up to date with this myself. djparoah has a pretty good grasp on the diff models for a8 though..

    z96j, pretty much the twin for a6j (pls confirm), has a wider range of options for gpu which includes the x1600.

    shud also note that a8 has a dvi output while z96 doesnt. :)

    Whoa, where's that chart from? Are those the models coming to North America? Not a single Z series will have a DVI port? Or are these just predictions?
