    I am considering this laptop at the moment, but noticed that it does not seem to be extremely popular on this forum...Is there a reson for that? All in all, it looks like a good deal, especially if you get a barebone. Would appreciate any feedback from those who have it. Thanks!

    I have no clue why neither, it's a really good deal. TV tuner, x700, the low end weight scale compared to other 17", and a pretty awesome screen.

    the w2v pretty much took all the steam and attention :p I think the Z83v isnt half bad looking and a good value.

    just interested in the model, but personally.. would never buy a 17" laptop. Coriolis on the other hand has some direct experiences with it, check out his w2v vs z83 review in his sig!

    Yeah, thanks...I have read it couple times :), but still look for more feedback and multiple viewpoints. That review is very thorough though.
