Wow, that is a plateful of computer delicacies. I think you even added a second and third plate.

Anyway, from what I have read on your post and then around the net, it is stated that Asus is a good brand better than others around the same price range. Supposedly it is doing well in Asia, and we all know that Asia would be a tough market due to the fact that competition there is tough since most techy items have roots in Asia.

I wish you well on it. I am not an expert, but what I can review, it looks pretty good.

Nice!
It's a pretty good laptop.
Duo processor and Nvidia Geforce 9800M GS graphics & 2.13 Ghz is not that bad.
If it isn't to expensive and you want it I should do it.
It's a nice laptop! :mrgreen:

1 - Intel® Core™2 Duo processor P7450 @ 2.13GHz (the P series is better than the T series)
2 - 15.6" WXGA widescreen display with a 1366 x 768 resolution (Wide Screen yay!)
3 - 320GB SATA hard drive @ 7200 rpm (NOT the usual 5400 rpm!)
4 - NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GS graphics with 512MB of dedicated GDDR3 graphics memory (ATI have crappy drivers, specially on laptops)
5 - 4 high-speed USB 2.0 ports; 8-in-1 media reader (built-in memory card reader w00t!)

Ok there's no Blue-Ray drive, but who cares!
I want it! :shock:

If you really want the blue ray you just have to give out $50 more.
It's much money but not to bad I guess..
