    hello, i'm a new member here ^^
    I've just bought Asus laptop for 3 weeks now, laptop i'm using now is Asus F80s-T5850 and i think it's quite unfamiliar cuz i've searched on the Internet so manytimes and it's hard to find more review and comment about this laptop :(
    The information i found on the internet most of them are about F80s-T5750 not T5850 and that really makes me worry about this laptop :(
    i hope that everybody will give me more comment and some advice about using this laptop ~^___^~

    Welcome to the forum!

    The F80 seems to be an Asian market version of the F8 series, which might limit the potential for number of reviews and could explain why you aren't finding much. There also aren't a great many forum members from Asia around here, it seems.

    Other than the cpu change, the rest of any information in reviews you find should apply to your notebook accurately. Asus probably just updated the cpu to the T5850 when they updated their cpu stock to the 5850 - nothing to worry about for your system, you're fine.

    Enjoy your new tool/toy. :)

    Oh, so now i know why it's difficult to discussion about this kind of laptop :))
    thanx for your kindness :)
    actually that i'm from asia ~^__^~
    but my knowledge about techonology especially laptop is very small /___\ so can i ask a silly question that: webcam is only in use when using some chatting programmes such as Yahoo, Msn etc. or i can use it without connecting to the internet?

    You can definitely use it w/o connecting to the Internet. There is an included application called LifeFrame that does just that.
