Asus W3V vs. Fujitsu 7020

Hi everyone,

I need a laptop for the start of September, and after much research and forum lurking, I have decided on either the Asus w3v and Fujitsu 7020. I wanted to get the new s6240, but I'm in Canada and I can't wait till the end of August.

Pricewise, I can get the w3v and 7020 for about $2170 and $2130 Cdn respectively, so price isn't the issue. I know a lot about the w3v (great specs and design, somewhat weak speakers, right palm heats up a bit), but not too much about the 7020. I have yet to see a fujitsu vs. asus comparison, so I was wondering if anyone can give me some insight between the two.

(I posted this under the Fujitsu forum as well.)

 

I'm actually deciding on the same dilemma as you. The widescreen on the Asus W3V is a real plus. Fujitsu makes quality screens and notebooks. I just can't decide. I'm leaning towards the Fujitsu. At Portable One, they have the S6240 already. http://laptopsinc.com/Merchant2/mer...de=S6240CTO&Category_Code=SS1&Product_Count=1
I will be reading. Thanks

 

If you can wait a few more weeks, the s6240 looks pretty promising.

Also, the two are quite different, the w3c has a dedicated GPU while the Fujitsu does not.

 

Yeah, I think it comes down to GPU vs weight vs screen. The Fujitsu is lighter and has a better display, but the GPU is weak and it's not widescreen. Both are built well though I'd give the support edge to Fujitsu.
