    The Z70Va, of course! The processing power of the Z70va would kick the W3's butt with no problem. Not only that, but it's got a bigger screen and a higher resolution, but you were asking about graphics intensive programs. The Z70va has much more power.

    I had a question reguarding this as well b/c these are my 2 primary picks too.
    How do the battery life of the 2 compare? The screen, i know one is matte and the other is glossy. I plan using it outsided on my porch but that's shaded and everything, but i do want a very crisp screen.
    I don't need ANY of the bundled software so i was kinda leaning towards the z70va, but hating the wait as well.

    If you are waiting till Christmas, why don't you give the decision some time and see what new models come out.
