ASUS N80 Series 14.1" Intel Core 2 Duo T5800 4GB Memory Windows Vista Home Premium N80Vn-X1

Pros: Great size, great GPU, ran games blazing fast. Good solid constuction...wasnt worried about this thing breaking on me. ASUS, and their wonderful included warranty that no one can match! Oh, and Newegg!!

Cons: Vent is right where my mouse hand goes, but this shouldnt be a problem for leftys. Small bit of paint came off with the stickers. Fn and Ctrl keys are swapped (Why?!?).

Overall Review: When I ordered this laptop the specs said that the laptop included bluetooth, which was important to me. When it arrived I spent lots of time trying to get the blue tooth set up. I finally broke down and called ASUS tech support only to find that this particular model has no bluetooth. Newegg was great though as they let me refund it and now my new baby (a N50) is on its way!

Thanks Newegg!!

Pros: Affordable
4gb of ram
Fast for what you pay, and the 9650 does great for the resolution given.
Linux compatibility is ok, no issues with windows drivers

Cons: The keyboard is horrible - literally misses button presses every few seconds. Two letters in a row is almost a guaranteed miss. I'm going to RMA it and hope that things improve, but if not the system is almost useless.

Overall Review: Not bad, but be ready to deal with ASUS support as their QC seems to be a bit lacking.
