    Bleh, its too bad the W3j isn't available to you. There is a videoclip somewhere on the forum by G2P showing the W3j and A8jm (looks the same as the A8js) and the W3j just looks so much sexier ^^;;

    The A8JS is the better gamer with its 7700 GPU, and probably the best value of the bunch. Get this.

    The Zepto comes a close second only because of its older GPU---and it comes with the T7200 if you so choose, as well as an optional 12 cell battery and a lot of other goodies. You can't get it in the US though, only available in Europe.

    W3J wins style points. Similar specs to Zepto. More expensive. Nothing higher than T5500.

    W7J is in a separate category, with 7400 GPU and smaller screen. Not sure if it has a Core 2 refresh.

    It comes with T5600 in DK

    The zepto doesnt have DVI and it has a lower res, is more expensive and older GPU..

    So i guess the a8js is the right choice.. i hope.. :)

    Yup same thing happened to me. The store listed it (A8JS-4S009P) as wxga 1280x800. When it arrived it luckily turned out to be 1440x900. I even wrote to the store before I bought it but they didn't seem to know. I checked with asus website and it lists the model as 1440x900 and it turned out to be right.
