ASUS Laptop Intel Core 2 Duo T6600 (2.20GHz) 4GB Memory 320GB HDD ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 14.1" Windows 7 Home Premium X83VP-X1

Pros: - PRICE! - Graphics card ( Listed as ATI 4650, but actually a 4670 ) - Screen - Web cam/mic - Windows 7 - 7200 RPM drive - Express card 54 slot (I'm going to put a TV tuner in it) - DVD-DL Drive - About 1-2 hours battery life WHEN PLAYING GAMES - 5 USB Ports

Cons: - Stupid Anti-virus program, Can be uninstalled - Finger prints - Top part of the lid scratches easily - FN Key is where the control key should be ( Biggest con for me :P )

Overall Review: Plays All my games pretty close to the highest settings (Gta IV, Farcry 2 , WoW ,CSS , Assassins creed, and Fallout 3... If you are looking for a 14in gaming laptop in the 700-900$ Price rang this is it! The Graphics card (ATI 4670) is about equivelent or better than an Nvidia GT240m and an Nvidia 8800M Gts

Pros: -Great dedicated GPU inside -Powerful processor -Looks very sleek -5 USB PORTS! -Wireless N -SD Card reader, HDMI w/ audio out, e-Sata - these are not often found at this price point. -Very quiet, even while playing games. -Battery life is pretty good considering the size of the battery. -Very little bloatware preinstalled.

Cons: -Touchpad buttons require a tad more pressure than normal -Touchpad is farther to the left than I like, I find myself accidentally brushing my palm on it while typing. -Keyboard does seem to "miss" key presses, however if you start applying more pressure to the keys while typing this stops happening. -Fn Key placement was poor decision. -Fingerprint magnet (but they give you a little cloth to wipe it down with) -The labels for the keys and lights at the top of the keyboard are impossible to read due to them being on the chrome trim.

Overall Review: For the price and the features, the Pros far outweigh the Cons of this beast. It deserves a 5 egg rating. For the purposes of downloading drivers on ASUS' site, this is an N81Vp laptop.

Pros: -Best computer available at this price point (including rebate) -Solid construction -Radeon 4670 w/ 1GB DDR3 -Doesn't get that hot when playing games -Plays everything I've thrown at it, even when plugged into a 1920x1080 TV @ full res -4GB ram -Big hard drive -Windows 7 -Light -Not much bloatware -Decent battery life

Cons: -Keyboard "misses" some keypresses. It only happens when I'm typing real fast. I updated the BIOS and turned off the touchpad (a common fix for ASUS laptops -- you can also uninstall the Synaptics driver) and this seems to have improved things. -Not an issue for me since I disabled the touch pad, but the touchpad buttons are hard to press in certain locations -The labels on the top row non-keyboard buttons are curiously difficult to see. Whose idea was that? -Inexplicably partitioned hard drive. This takes about 2 minutes to fix, though, just check Google. -Although the wireless card support N, it is a piece. Hard to find updates, limited config options, and I'm not sure, but I think it's the culprit of some stuttering I see when I play online games.

Overall Review: All in all it's pretty sweet.

Pros: -Extremely fast startup because of the program they supply - Very good quality gameplay with newer games like TF2 (no lag at all) - Doesn't heat up too much even after 2 hours of straight gameplay with fan running from playing tf2 -3 hours of internet- browsing- battery life

Cons: - Mouse buttons ARE very hard to press in certain areas that they assume not to be clicked, like the left side of each key, but then gets slightly softer but still pretty hard to hit on the right side. - Is a fingerprint magnet if you're crazy about that, but imo just get a cloth if u really care.

Overall Review: There is a lot of random programs i went through and deleted, about 30, so if u really want to clean it up you should find a copy of windows 7 and clean install( the backup cd of windows 7 they give you comes with all the programs, although I'm not sure if you have an option to not install them)

Pros: I can't say enough good things about this laptop. ASUS beefed up all the right components in this model to find the best balance between price, performance, weight, and battery life. It's absolutely silent during it's 3+ hours of basic use and doesn't get annoyingly loud during heavy operation. This is perfect for users who want portability, solid desktop performance, and enjoy gaming here and there. It handles Left 4 Dead 2 and other HL2-based games in high detail without a hitch and, yes, it WILL run Crysis. The card reader, webcam, HDMI and eSATA ports are all welcome extras. Accident-prone users will appreciate the 1-year drop/spill/damage warranty. ASUS quality is top-notch.

Cons: As other reviewers have posted, it does have some minor (though valid) flaws: - Yes, it's a fingerprint magnet (that's why it comes with a cleaning cloth) - DDR3 memory would have been nice - Inexplicably partitioned hard drive - Mouse buttons need a *little* more pressure than I'm used to but that's hardly with docking an egg from the score

Overall Review: I'm kicking myself because I missed the $100 rebate period. All the more reason to snag one for yourself if the offer is still available! A couple things worth mentioning that were not listed in the specs at the time of my purchase: -OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit -Came with a Radeon 4670 instead of a 4650

Pros: This thing is great. Set up was quick and easy. Almost no bloatware on it. Had one Anti Virus Program that I got rid of and everything else was actually useful. Smart log on is great. Something new I never use so it's fun. Takes a picture of your face and logs you in if the face doesn't match it takes a picture and puts it on file for next time. Runs CSS, HoN, and I just ran Dirt 2 and it runs VERY smoothly in dx9. (Medium settings are max for dx9) If you plan on playing Dirt 2 though you will NEED to update the graphics drivers or else the game will lag so much you won't make it past the menu screen. Weird ATI bug I suppose. I ran the tests on yougamers.com and it can run crysis,far cry 2, and GTA IV. Though I have not actually tested them on my own. Once I do I plan on updating my review. Battery life is pretty good if running on battery saving mode. All you do is a click a button on the top of the keyboard and voila!

Cons: Lifeframe (Asus webcam software) causes the webcam to be a bit laggy. Whenever I launch using another program it's fine. I'm sure you can tweak lifeframe to work great so I still gave 5/5 since it's most likely user error. The buttons on the touchpad are a bit loud and hard to push. Not really a con but thought I would point it out.

Pros: Comes with mobility 4670, even though it is listed as 4650. 64 bit Windows 7 2 year manufacturer's warranty, 1 year accidental Very clean looking computer, extremely fast Gaming is better than what one would think with this hardware

Cons: Keys above the disk drive make jittery noise when typing --> top left of the keyboard, fingerprint magnet, DDR2 instead of DDR3

Overall Review: Bought this for everyday use and gaming. The most demanding game I've played on it so far is Dragon Age: Origins. The recommended specs for this game are a little bit above this computer, but I played the game on the highest settings for about 4 hours straight and the GPU temps only reached 63C. I played other games like Everquest 2, LOTRO, and CSS and they all ran great on highest settings, except Everquest 2. EQ2 was a little choppy at highest settings, but bumping down the details a notch or two helped greatly. Overall, a great buy for the price. ASUS has the best name in the laptop business and this laptop shows that.

Pros: -Price! -Size - still big enough to enjoy games/movies/etc on, yet small/light enough to remain very portable -Brand - Asus is an excellent name when it comes to quality & customer service. Their warranty coverage is great. -ATI Radeon 4670 (not the 4650 as listed) -5 USB ports -Windows 7 (64) -Very little bloatware (and easy to remove the little that there is) -Handles all games I've tried flawlessly (I've run Dragon Age, WoW, Farcry 2 and some others on maxed settings with zero issues)

Cons: -Function key in odd placement -Stiff touchpad buttons -Fingerprint magnet -Partitioned HDD

Overall Review: None of the very few and minor cons outweight the many pros, therefore this reviewer gives 5 eggs without question. I was looking for a portable PC for my basic work/home use that could also function as a backup gaming rig (for when I want to play a game while laying on the couch/bed or away from home), I found this incredible deal, and I could not be happier with my purchase. Some of the specs (CPU speed, Memory speed, HDD size) were a little below some of the other machines I was researching but considering how much cheaper this one is, it was well worth a slight sacrifice. $100 rebate (ONLY with purchase through Newegg) expires on 1/31/10, FYI! For the first time ever I had some minor issues with Newegg's service: My order took longer than expected but since I've had EXCELLENT experience with them in the past I will give them the benefit of the doubt by blaming the holiday's. This obviously has no bearing on the product value/review, but worth mentioning.
