ASUS ROCKS!!!

Pros: Body structure is awesome, its well contructed, not bulky at all, weighs 8lb, its feels lighter then all of the 17inch i've seen so far, from sony, gateway, dell, alienware, and HP. Trackpad with multimedia function is very nice add. The screen itself is breath-taking, but sony somewhat better though, don't know why. Lots of connectivity, include HDMI output for my beautiful 32in LCD HDTV(lolz). Very fast CPU and the latest one from 45nm Architecture with 1066mhz FSB. 4gig of ram is plenty for vista. heck, i can run 2x 1080P movies at the same time with no lag(w00t). Its doesnt get hot at all, from keyboard to the bottom of the laptop. OVERALL: its a great buy and will last you for years. Trust me on this. ASUS quality are SUPERB.
Cons: Con, ummm.... wish they equip it with DDR3, that would help alot. also, one of the asus software SMARTLOGIN is buggy. Build in Speaker from Altec Lansing could be better. its not loud enough for me. but overall: still an awesome buy.
Overall Review: Fingerprint is also a nice add, i use it alot when visiting login website. This laptop is shiny, subject to fingerprint marks. ^^
Good monitor but Color, not good.

Pros: Huge Real Estate (big work space) Love the button located, real sleek and nice. 19" really big 60 refresh rate under DVI, which is ok. Analog, you get more. World's First ANTI-THEFT, all it does is it send you to a website, register your monitor and put a pin number, and the monitor will also remember it. So everytime the monitor get disconnected, and once you plug it back on your computer or someone else, you have to input your pin number you created. I think it's nice feature. lol Easy to setup. No dead pixel upon arrival. lol <----- Lucky guy. No ghosting, or any other stuff. Just clear and fast pictures.
Cons: The truth, the only con for this monitor is the color template. I notice that you don't get FULL 16 or 32 bit color (forgot which one). I notice this when i have my NU 17" 8ms monitor, it can be found at newegg too. I returned it cuz of vertical line. Anyways. Comparing NU color template and Hyundai, NU wins. I can't really explain it, but after i turn my Hyundai, playing games like WOW and CS, Source, Matrix ONline, FFXI Online, EQ2, Guild Wars, Unreal Tournament 2k5, Battlefield 2 Online, Diable 2, MapleStory and EVE Online, a lot of colors was missing. I don't know if i should use other Color Profile.
Overall Review: The truth, i was better off with NU 17" 8ms Monitor. Trust me on this one. You will thank me later. NU produces more colors and at 8ms(i dont' know if it's real 8ms, i don't care), and no ghosting, NU is the way to go. Too bad, i can't return this monitor. Later. I hope this ways helpful. 3/5 overall
AWESOME gaming router

Comments: Really AWESOME router. If your thinking about getting a router, buy this if you have the money. But one thing though, i set it up GameFuel, games, like cs and almost mmorpg out there has better ping. Streaming videos, upload and downloads are slowed way down up to 300 kb/s. Normally, without this router, my download speed was 500-600 kb/s, but now, around 100-150 download speed. Probably something have to config in the GameRouter Web tool thing. oh well. AWESOME ROUTER as advertised. 5/5
Excellent Monitor, didn't last for me!

Comments: Hi. Guess my first LCD review. This NU LCD was amazing. Brightness and Contrast is awesome if set to auto. I play almost any MMORPG games and CS, no ghosting, VERY AWESOME. Must buy. But unfortunely, it lasted 6 days i thing. Saturday morning, i turn it on and there was this Vertical Lines that are DEAD PIXEL, like around 5-6 pixel thick. I request REFUND RMA and newegg granted it. First time talking to them, they told me to call manufacture and request an CASe number, but NU didn't have any. so Newegg place a RMA. TOO bad NU, i really loved your LCD. But moving on into a better and BIGGER LCD, 19", here i come.(Probably SamSung). lol Later
Great, Didn't last

Comments: I purchased it on March 2005 for my first build custom pc. It was running smoothly until on September 6, 2005, it die on me. It was great Power Supply, but dissapointed, cuz didn't last long enought for a year, almost. You might want to get another Power Supply, just a suggestion.... lol... Peace Riddick
