I've actually been told by people at school that there are some decent laptops in stock at various stores around town, so I'm going to go and have a look tomorrow. Free exam days ftw.

the thing i don't like about asus is that they only make XGA screens, as opposed to WXGA which looks better.

I can't believe this... I actually want to buy a HP laptop...

heya folks,

looking into a travel laptop notebook myself, sizing up the ASUS W5f, found one for $1799, and im having a hell of a time finding another one in Adelaide so i can atleast know if thats a good price or not, the guys in the store said it should be $2,400 or so, and in the last couple of days its gone down another $200, to the 1799 it is now...

any idea if thats a good price?

white, 80gb HD, 512RAM, right size 4 me, light, 2 year warranty...only battery life is short, about 3 hours i think but i do get two of them...

would appreciate a word on its price,
thanks, Urse

yeah ive got an asus w5f...exceptional notebook
thats pretty good for that price...i bought mine in HK for $1500 AU, but thats HK for you
on other sites ive seen them for $2499, so to find one under $2000 is a pretty good deal imo

for my one though, its a core duo t2400, 100gb hdd, 1gb ram 2 year warrenty and 3 and a half hr battery life

my advice: get it asap

yeah, they do look good. almost as good as an apple.

But compared to ASUS you generally pay a little more than what you get.

I finally decided to buy this computer Dell XPS M1210. Powerful, Light and small at cheap price. just what i've been looking for ages. I think its a good choice for people who want a notebook as powerful as a desktop but light enough to lug around with one hand . This is the perfect choice. Plus its backed by 2 yrs dell premium service(unheard of in notebook) and of course Dell is an american company that you can trust with peace of mind.

pff, our ticket price is 1780 at JB Hifi, and bargaining off $100 wouldnt be hard.. i could easily have beaten that.

and it comes with a free tv tuner anyway, asus give it to us, we prettymuch ahev to give it to you. but of course, he was doing a "special deal" :rofl:

Meh, thats what you get when you shop at a place with 6 elevators in it and staff all wearing suits.

the thing about asus is they say they have "widescreen xga" screens, rather than WXGA screens,

still dont know what the W means.. ?
