    I know they are different sizes but their specs are pretty close i think im not sure what they are putting in the V2. But anyways I was wondering what people thought about the two in terms of build quality, and performance. Thanks. And if anyone had any first hand experience with the W7. Also if anyone knows any new info on the V2s.

    Thanks in advance.

    V series has always had highest build quality and materials of any Asus models.

    Main differences between the W7 and current V2 (no info on refreshed V2s' specs) are the screen size, chassis' construction, and gpu. V2 has carbon fiber, W7 is reinforced plastic.

    For discussion on first-hand experience with the W7, please read the W7j Owner's Lounge thread.
