whats the difference between the W3J-H017P and the W3J-H026P ??

is there any difference between these two ? does the w3j come with upgradeable options ?

also what is the difference between the w3j and the w2jb ? which gets hotter, which has teh better build ? better speakers ? does the w2jb come with upgradeable options ?

thanks in advance

 

Use the search function, those questions has been answered many times.

The Hxxxx is just the 'code' for the different shipment I think, all the W3j's in N.A. are the same.

 

The W3J-H017P is currently sold out, and the next shipment will be the W3J-H026P. The only difference is the processor will be the T2500 and the memory will come in one SODIMM instead of two. These are North American models.

The W3J is a 14" model and the W2Jb is a 17" model. They are of essentially the same build quality, but the speakers are better on the W2Jb. For additional differences study the specifications for both by clicking on the links I provided.

Ensemble models cannot be upgraded.

 

ok besides theyre both core duo, x1600 and basic specs are pretty much the same, besides the w2j having dvi, tv tuner, better sound, bigger screen and media center... what are other differences ?

i know the w3j has an alloy casing for the lid, how about the rest of the body??? does the w2j have the carbon fiber lid only or the whole body?

 

is there a difference in which is better, one SODIMM instead of two? what are the differences? which is better the older processor or the T2500 ?

basically was the older w3j a better buy?

 

No the new w3j is a better buy. You get a faster processor (2 ghz compared to 1.8) and one stick of 1 gig ram instead of 2 512mb sticks. You pretty much named all the differences between the w2j and the w3j. Both are solidly built so materials shouldn't be an issue unless you're concerned with aesthetics and if thats the case you needn't worry because both look amazing. The w3 does have the aluminum lid the rest of the body is plastic/carbon fiber whatever the heck people want to call it.

 

Dual channel memory doesn't give the big performance boost in notebooks that you see in desktops; going to single chip is probably cheaper for them to build than buying double chips, and performance is essentially the same. The difference between the current and T2500 processors will only be in benchmarks - you're completely unlikely to notice the difference in any routine use.
