    The more I shop Asus Resellers, the more I am confused...

    Can you buy the z70 with wxga instead of wsxga? ...or is wsxga the 'whole point' of that model?

    Is the only difference from that model to the z71a no Bluetooth?

    I have also come across the A6V at some reseller and not others...

    Bottom line is that I want a widescreen with bluetooth and I am concerned about the wsxga rez being a bit too small. Other requirements are dedicated video, 5400rpm drive and dvd+/-rw... Ideas??

    If the WSXGA+ is a concern, then I'd recommend the A6Va. The Z70Va is a great machine, but I'd go to a nearby shop to see if a notebook with WSXGA+ really is too small. Most people find it to be stunning, but it all comes down to user preference.

    You'll be able to get a A6Vc in North America, but it doesnt have a modular battery.
