Pros: Perfect specifications. Plenty of video memory and dedicated. Lots of add ons. Way better warranty than any other brand on the market. Excellent build quality. Comfortable typing experience. The display is just the right size. I initially purchased 13.3" Toshiba, but it seemed a little too small, and the display had dead pixels, wich was the reason i returned it. Very cool utility software from ASUS (option to log you in only with the camera, without even touching the comp). The notebook runs very cool. Display is very vivid and bright, with way less glare compared to other glossy displays. The keyboard feels solid with less flex than any others I've tried. Vista just flies on this machine. I do not believe there is a better deal than that right now if you are looking for top notch performance in a small package

Cons: I spotted a dead pixel on the screen, but just pressed on it with moderate pressure with a towel, and it seems it has disappeared. I would have liked it much more if the battery had a longer life, or at least if there was an option to upgrade to a higher capacity battery. Right now it lasts up to 2-2.5 hours at the most with energy saving settings.

Overall Review: For everybody that hears bad reviews for vista: Microsoft did not pour around 10 Billion usd in to something they are going to bail on. This is the new operating system at least for the next 3-5 years. They will clean it up from all the bugs. But even now i think it is much better than xp. If you have any problems with vista ..... just get better hardware, and do a little more research on customizing your Windows.
