Should I trade my z71v for a w3v? The only thing keeping me from doing it is the graphics card on the W3V is weaker. What do you think?

Radeon x600 graphics.

Well, as soulsaver mentioned, the W3 build quality is better and it looks better (brushed aluminum, etc.), but the x600 is quite a big drop from the 6600 in the Z71v, so be sure you won't need as much graphics power if you decide to do it.

Feature-wise, the Z71V has better speakers, better sound through the audio-out, and more USB ports. Both the W3v & Z71v have a modular bay and similar battery life.

personally, I wouldn't do it. But I also don't want to give up my graphics card for anything less powerful, which is a good part of my reasoning.
