Asus G1 with WXGA (1280x800)

I would like to get an Asus G1, but I don't want the 1680x1050 resolution.

Asus' web site mentions that the G1 is available with 1280x800 resolution, and I found a model # with it: ASUS G1-AK005C

See here: http://en.toppreise.ch/index.php?a=105346&SID=7f79d5608cb8eadb951c9cd67b8841fa

Does anybody sell this here in the States?

Thanks,

Doubt it, as the only one here is the WSXGA+, you'll need to import it from a foreign country if you want it with WXGA.

 

any reason why you want something with a lower, more inferior resolution? I've got the G1 with 1680x1050 and it is gorgeous. Text is not too small if thats what you're most concerned about. Also I'm able to run all my games at the native res with little to no hiccups.

 

I literally stare at the screen all day, and I just want the smaller resolution as its much easier on my eyes.

I do much programming, web site development, and its just easier to get things pixel perfect when you can see the pixels a little easier.

I'm also a professional software dev and I actually find the resolution on the 1680x1050 res very usable. It actually makes it easier to see more code in a very readable space. Its not as bad as 1600x1200 and barely smaller than 1280x1024 on a desktop.

If readability is a problem, you can always increase your DPI setting in Windows. Vista is very good about this and scales the fonts very well.

 

It's not so much reading the text, as that is easily customized. It's trying to lay out the forms and web pages that I find difficult in the higher resolutions.

I see. I will admit its also difficult to properly layout designs for lower res websites (such as 1024x768) when you develop on a high res machine.

 

You can just adjust the resolution of the screen to your liking...It takes one click. So just buy the G1 and be happy! I put up a screenshot of the options.

 

Taiwan has it, and they ship internationally. You can order if only you can read chinese. I don't know about the creditability of those sites but I can look them up through Yahoo Taiwan Shopping.

 

Roadracer: I know I can change the resolution, but have you ever tried to line something up pixel by pixel with a scaled resolution? It's tough.

Intensity: Thanks. I don't read Chinese, but I wouldn't mind international shipping if anyone knows a site that is in English that would ship to me...
