Question:
Asus W7J - I want to buy it. Now. (Questions!)
Alright, I've been looking at a WIDE range of different 12"-13" notebooks, I'll need something portable enough to bring to all my classes when the new Fall semester starts up.
Looked at the macbook, the vaio SZ, acer's, toshibas, hps, dells, etc etc!
Then today, I stumbled on the Asus W7J. I read the specs. I looked at the pictures. I was sold.
I want to purchase one. Right. Now.
Questions~!
1) I'm from Canada, could you pro's recommend me the best place to order one for a good price? I'm a student, I'm poor, but I'll not rest till I have my own Gargantuan sticker-polluted W7J.
2) I saw pictures of a white/silver looking W7J, although the reviews I've read all had the black version. Is there anyway to get that sexy white/silver version at all?? I'd pay more for it if need be! (but..not too much :o)
3) Is it hard to do a clean-install of XP once I get the W7J? Are there a lot of drivers or whacky problems which will come up if I do a full format?
4) The white/silver version, I must have it! WHERE CAN I GE-... oops, already covered that one.
Thanks everyone, hope to have one ordered by the end of this weekend!

In Canada there are a few Asus resellers
Infonec Computers in GTA www.infonec.com
MilestonePC.com in GTA(But ships throughout North America)..* I recommend MPC even though they are a little more expensive, their pre and post sale support is solid(you can tell by just how many posts they have on this Asus forum)
Canada Computers
NCIX.com
Theres a bunch of otheres not really worth mentioning

MilestonePC seems to be the most solid candidate on the list. You can email them and ask if they have any white w7js in stock. Also you might be interested in the asus group buy (click the link on my sig for more info) although you may have to wait a little longer this way since the models that we are ordering will contain the new core 2 duo (merom) processor. It will be cheaper though. =)

Not true...the W7 is/does come in both white and black versions, however as far as I know the states is only getting the black. Not sure why, I love the white, but then Im a sissy....lucky for me they ship the white here in france!

There are white W7J models, you didn't mistake a w5f. However, there are none for sale in North America. If you absolutely must have one, you can look into importing from Europe or Asia, but it may be more trouble than it's worth.

Ah, yeah it's a shame. The group buy is a good idea, and I even emailed and posted in the group buy thread... but after some thought I realized I can't wait that long for my notebook, which totally sucks for me :(
If I had the white ASUS imported, would I still be able to use it with North American electricity/plugs? (I know nothing about the differences in regards to power between NA and EU).
Also, would it be A LOT more expensive? I really want one =(
Thanks for your help so far guys, will definitely be placing an order this weekend or maybe even tonight as soon as I figure out if its realistic for me to get the white version!
Looking forward to more great advice,

It IS possible for you to import, but the cost will be much higher, for example in Asia, both black and white available and the same price, but the price is much higher than here.

I don't think too many people would pick the white over the black, but it would be nice to see about 100-200 of them shipped out to North America. That way all the "sissies" could get what they want. I myself would much rather have a balck w7 or a brushed aluminum w3
