    Hello,

    First post here on NotebookReview.com. It seems like there sure is a plethora of knowledge I could learn. I am thinking about getting the Asus F8Sn-C1.

    Right now it is stated at about 1399.00 bucks. Which is a little over my price range. My father will give be giving me $500 and my mother $400 and I will have like 200 bucks or so.

    DO you guys think this laptop will reach about 1000 dollars or so, and how long?? I go away to college in about July and would love to get one then.

    Also Ive heard a lot of good stuff about this notebook. Anything bad?

    Hello there,

    Price wise, don't expect the C1 model to go down to around 1000. Have a good look of the F8Sn-B1, it's jut as good for the price. Thanks!

    Pixel-wise, its a step down obviously. The larger the resolution, the smaller icons and text becomes, and the more real estate you get on the screen.

    Dell 152x? You can grab one for under $1000 with the 8600GT DDR2 which isn't bad.
