    I guess the spec is okay, but that design... slightly too plasticy/cheap imo; and the glossy screen?

    If it did, it wouldn't have a 4860 :) But I agree, the UX design is AWESOME. Def. my next lappie.

    The 4860 is going to put all of the current "mainstream" GPUs to shame. The K-series seems like a good deal. The build quality looks a little below typical ASUS, but that could just be bad pictures.

    I'm sure the k series will feel sturdy even with the looks.

    My F3 isn't quite the looker but it's been very sturdy over the years. Sure there was that one crack, but other than that one design flaw, it's a rock. No flex at all. Time to replace my ancient laptop :)

    Those look fantastic (specs wise). In fact they don't look half-bad externally. Why does Asus get all the good GPUs? :D

    The guy obviously used the search function, something we crucify others for not using.

    Not everyone is up to date on all matters concerning laptops, probably looking to replace his laptop soon and want's one with good performance capabilities.
    I also look forward to this laptop, might be my next laptop! :)
