    Debating between Z96J and F3jm. What are the strengths and weaknesses? Is there a store or reseller in Georgia or Tennessee where I could go and see the notebooks in person.

    z96j has a wsxga+ screen vs wxga
    z96j has bluetooth vs no bluetooth
    z96j has a bag
    f3j has dvi vs no dvi.
    z96j is customized and comes with dealer warranty only
    z96j is more popular and i guess therefore mainstream
    f3j is nicer looking
    f3j has global 1 yr warranty vs domestic

    the f3j has a 512 mb 7600 and the z96j has a 256 mb x1600

    Im not sure why the f3j is better looking. they look almost exactly the same to me. point out major 'look' differences to me

    on the back instead of blank there is an asus logo on the f3j. I ould not be suprised if they are even the same chassis....
