    I don't want to buy a laptop without the ability for me to AT LEAST play/pause, forward one track and back one track in Winamp.

    Does the A8Js do this...or do I need the W3J for that.

    The A8 series doesn't have the media buttons, only the hotkeys.

    Yeah I think the W3J does, sadly. I really don't want to wait until January when its actually possible to get a hold of one.

    lol can't you have keyboard shortcuts? Sure, it's different, but choosing a laptop because it has a play button seems odd. To me at least, obviously it's your laptop.

    I *really* like the W3J better in all respects...a good looking lappy is important to me :)

    But the lack of the T7200 and waiting till January might force my hand.
