    i'm trying to decide between the w5f or the z33ae

    they're both 12" screens.
    i need it mostly for writing no gaming.

    any suggestions?

    Well, the W5f is superior in almost every aspect, but it also comes with a larger price tag.

    Though if you can wait, perhaps the z35f may be another option!

    I woud go with the W5F. I believe the Z33ae is single core while the W5F is dual core. Plus I dont believe the Z33 comes with DVD-RW whereas the W5F has DVD-RW. To me the W5F is by far the better choice.

    if the price doesnt seem to be that big of an issue then i'd agree with jtom and say the w5f is much better.

    on another note, i could've sworn the z33 had the option of a dvd-rw but i'm probably wrong.
