While Acer has a 20 inch monster, Asus has decided to upgrade their W2 series with a HD-DVD based model. Having owned a W1 myself, I have to say these notebooks rival the build quality of Apple MacBook Pros. The notebook's based on Intel's Centrino Duo platform, and will ship with a range of Core Duo CPU options, Intel's 945PM chipset and the chip giant's 802.11a/b/g Wi-Fi adaptor. The W2J has Bluetooth 2.0 too. For the security-minded, it has a Trusted Platform Module on board. Also included is a X1600 256MB graphic card, up to 2GB memory and 120GB hard drive. There will be a 15.4 inch W1J with an HD-DVD drive as well.
