    I recalled that P1 will use a different screen? any idea if it's glossy? matte? or chooseable? noobish question, but what's UVA?

    Is the P1 WX an updated version of the MX, or is it an entirely new notebook with a different build?

    ^like stated above.. it's based on the W3V.. the MX that you see now is built on the Asus Z61.

    Only 64mb Dedicated VRAM? That's not good.

    Can anyone confirm the new MX model is indeed the expected WX model, but with a different name? It certainly sounds the same, besides the supposed extra 64 mb of additional shared memory on top of the dedicated memory, which I don't believe is part of the specs for the new MX model.

    ^it's the same thing.. the WX is basically just a configurable W3V. 64 dedicated and has the option of using system memory.
