    Which one you think looks better, z70Va or z96j?

    Obviously the z70Va.. But you really should consider the performance the Z96J has over the z70Va..

    well....the inside of the notebook, i would say that the z70 is much better looking. but i don't really like its outside design. i think i might prefer the silver on the s96j.

    Z70Va is overall much better looking... opened and closed.
    The Z96J isn't so bad itself, though... but I'm partial towards black notebooks.

    The Z70 has a higher range case than the Z96j so it's more robust and is made with better materials.

    Z70va all the way. I wish I could put my s96j guts inside a z70va.

    You know. Aside from the color they are very much alike. Very similar dimmensions and weight. Yes i think the silvery color was a mistake but hey its over 200$ below the z70va "ipo"
