Whoah, I checked out the ASUS laptops on Newegg and they are all right except for one thing: The screens! They only have crappy WXGA's. So... imagine a 17? widescreen 1280*768 screen! YUCK! :x

Ewww! Cough, cough, choke. Blah...

If I were to buy (or ask) for a 17" laptop, I would definitely go all the way baby -- WUXGA 1920x1200.

Dear...god...
FOR THE NEXT 3 DAYS, THEY ARE OFFERING IT WITH A NVIDIA 7900 GS GRAPHICS CARD!!! I DONT CARE IF THE SCREEN IS ONLY 1440X900! IM WRITING THIS USING A DESKTOP THATS 1024X768!!!http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/cmod.to?seg=HHO&coid=-30605 75 left o.o

(hated the old one due to the slow harddrive)

Nice.

If you dun care about the screen too much buy it now! You will notice the screen if you do anything other than gaming on it tho.

It's not much pixel real estate to work with. Other than that though it's all uberness of dhoom!

It kinda sucks they don't offer the 7900 in the customizable one though... Then you could change the screen to wsxga+ for $50 more.

Yeah go for it though. Even though battery life will be poor, 7900 is like... twice as good as my x700 lol. :lol:

You will be able to play next year's games at the uber settings.

I got my laptop back yesterday! Hooray

The LCD Panel was broken, so it had to be repaired (although the warranty does not cover that

). It's a Samsung R50 (bought in November 05) with an Intel Centrino 1.73 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 60 GB HDD, 15,4'' WXGA (it's like a mirror...) and an ATI X300 (it's not the best one, but I don't play games anyway). I formatted everything; it runs with three partitions now (Fedora 5, WinXP, Data). B)

*ordered, free 2-day air to boot
ill review it if you give me the links to all the stardard tests B)

didnt even notice the gigabyte Lan, the bluetooth, AND the remote control that comes with it o.o

spengo · « **Reply #37 on:** May 27, 2006, 04:13:00 pm »

Well hopefully. Wtf would you do without gigabyte lan, bluetooth, and a remote (assuming you have windows media xp whatchamacallit something or other). 'Twould be lame-o. Especially the lan.

rivereye · « **Reply #38 on:** May 28, 2006, 06:28:00 am »

it would be GigaBIT LAN, not byte (8 times the difference). That seems like a machine.

I have a Panasonic Toughbook CF-27. PIII @ 500mHzn 128MB RAM, 20GB HD, Win XP Pro (I know I am nuts running it on this comp)

spengo · « **Reply #39 on:** May 28, 2006, 08:49:00 am »

D00D, get more ram. o.o

How can you survive? Isn't there another slot? Buy a gig stick and shove it in there. Also... external hard drive. 20GB is like... 3 videogames and no anime.

Also, my bad. bit... I knew it sounded weird when I was saying it too lol. I blame cryzble for messing me up! >:0 j/k

rivereye · « **Reply #40 on:** May 28, 2006, 08:59:00 am »

I know I have to, I can have up to 320MB in the Machine (the 64 built in plus a 256 stick in the slot that has another 64 in it). The problem with and external drive is the USB support, it is only 1.0 VERY slow, and if I want 2.0 ports, then I loose some network stuff (only two PCMCIA slots, and no built in networking). The laptop is really only for shcool right now, and I use the MUCH MUCH MUCH better desktop for most everything else.

spengo · « **Reply #41 on:** May 28, 2006, 09:54:00 am »

LOL usb 1.0??!! Do they still have those?! Rofl. Well, if you only use it for school, how much battery does it have? That would be the important thing then.

rivereye · « **Reply #42 on:** May 28, 2006, 09:59:00 am »

2 hours per battery, I have two of them, and I can get AC power a good amout of the day

crzyrbl · « **Reply #43 on:** May 28, 2006, 11:38:00 am »

that's about all the life i'll get because of the 7900GS's uber graphics. What games should i get? i dont have alot because i used play games on the console systems (weak PS2 and GCube o' fun). I just have Warcraft III, Starcraftw/expansion, and WoW. Shame if i let it go to waste

spengo · « **Reply #44 on:** May 28, 2006, 12:37:00 pm »

Hmm, buy Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion fer sher. It is definitely the coolest single player rpg out atm and it will look f-ing sweet on a nvidia 7900.

Buy counter strike: source 'cause it's only $20 and it's still the current favorite lan game. (or you could just get Half Life 2 for $4-50 and that includes CS:S) Seriously, everyone has counter strike.

I intend to buy Haze and Battlefield 2142 when they come out.
http://hazegame.uk.ubi.com/
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-87069131846849265&q=battlefield+2142

For real time strategy games, the best looking ones atm seem to be Age of Empires III and Star Wars: Empire at War but I have bought neither of these. We still play AoE II.

And if you have any moneys left over Battlefield 2 is my favorite fps atm. :>

But yeah, Oblivion and cs:s are neccesary and in the future bf2142 and haze.
