Back on topic, I love how the keyboard is backlit :D
my laptop spec is on the left - sweet 1st Gen Core Duoness :P
that must look awesome!
on topic it seems like these have dropped in price...or is that just the "starting price"
ok its just starting price...nevermind
EDIT: its $6000 completley maxed out on performance
or a Asus G1s/G2s series laptop. i wouldnt buy this laptop if i had the money to throw a way - cosmetics wise it looks like a 5y/o designed it or something
@freedom yes to me it does look pretty ugly, although i do like the lighting effects
There is a drawback however, normal desktop viewing (ie small text) can be a bit of a pain sometimes due to the high resolution and small screen. It also makes the 15.4" (1280x800)screen on my other laptop look comical (ie looks like a childrens big text book in comparison).
i need a new lappy :p
my lappy is a windows me. havent used it in about 5 years :p
