Nice, hotlinking at it's finest.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

hahahahha link hotten wrong

asus sucks, get a toshib

12" screen dayum! i cant go less than 17" on my laptops

i got the qosimo

i love it, have my tv cable runnign through it and a great bose sound system, i can pretty much run my empire and dance naked in my office for days a time with the help of a few little purple pills

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

looks like a nice laptop :), change the hotlinked pix

looks nice :)

Seems like a bad ass computer but too small. I hate those little monitors, just crap on my eyes.

for that much money I would just goto powernotebook and get a badass one.

owned by hotlinking!

I have a dell inspiron and i love it.

On a side note anyone working off a laptop exclusively for a long time notice probs from using it so much (probs w/ the laptop not your personal issues :P)

Crap, over-priced too. Purchase a Dell, Toshiba, or Sony.

I`ve been dreaming with the Apple Mac Book Pro. The thing is just gorgeous and now you can double boot in to windows for those programs that you cannot find for the mac.
<homer> dual core mac ...hmmm *drools*</homer>

Try a Sony. Asus is great for components (particularly, main/motherboards) but I don't about a whole laptop. I just got a Sony VAIO and it's awesome. It's all about the add-on value. IMHO.

that is one tiny screen

17" for a notebook is pure madness. 15" is the max I would go for tho I prefer my 12":thumbsup

Get a macbook pro.

nice, but the screen is a little small in my opinion... :thumbsup

Just buy a thinkpad and youhahaha180;ll never have to worry about anything....

:eek7 :eek7 :eek7

hmm.. small screen I'll have trouble with that... go get a wider one

I hate squinting

Lol, link hottennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

getting a mac myself shortly.

p.s Ive been working from a laptop for 5 years and I am doing just fine. I can't stand desktop computers, not that they are bad, I just need to move around all day and work follows me.

Sounds like a nice one. Lets see how it works out.

seems like an ok system

No the Toshiba with 17" is the way to fly. I had one and plan on getting another updated version.

Nice choice.
Shows you've done your homework.

#1 - I have this laptop, and I spent 1.5 months coming to the decision to buy this specific model.

a) Those who say that the screen is too small, missed the part about it beign widescreen. The screen is just as wide as a 14.1" screen. It's got a natural 16:9 ratio.

b) The cost for what you get is fantastic. For this type of lightness and thinness in Toshiba, Dell or any other brand (including the power book) You're paying much more than whasy you'er pasying here.

c) It has a n inbuilt wireless mouse, in built web cam, in built CF card reader, in built wireless and in built blue tooth. Never seen other laptops pack so much + the battery life into a device so compact and light.

I have dragged mine wordlwide in the back of my backpack, and it has LIVED.

Fuck he naysayers, anyone who has not used this model dose not know what they are talking about.

Incidently, that price you're paying is way too much, however. I paid less than that in Australian dollars for a similar package. And for a nice black one, too ;)

...nice! I prefer black color.. :smokin

hi there bump for laptop:)

great stuff... but i would prefer a bit widder screen... :winkwink:

nice... i like it..

For that price I'd get one of the new MacBookPros and boot OSX and WinXP.
