Asus is great, 2 year warranty on their notebooks.

That's the best im going to get? It dosent have very good battery life (good enough for me though) it still weighs alot (though if theirs no way around that ill deal with it) Is it better then a ibuypower one? Is a quad 2.0 ghz, better then a dual 2.9 ghz?

Well, its got the best mobile gpu your going to get, the quad is good for the newer games such as gta iv. Trust me, gta iv on a dual core sucks

k im going to see if they have it at the store because i wont be at my house by the 27th

Rawlaw · 07-01-2009, 11:30 PM

I cant get that one because i just called bestbuy and they only have it online. Is the other one u showed me better?

This notebook has a good gpu, but only a dual core cpu, but for the price you cannot beat it and its GTX260M:

Well, its not weak per se, plus you can always upgrade it down the road, i believe that the asus notebooks have an easily accessible cover to the cpu on the bottom.

Bottom cover comes off easily, good cpu, decent weight/battery life(2hrs/7.3lbs)

well.... i can spend some more money. Will it play my halo 2, crysis on ok settings?
