    Hi guys,

    I'm a bit of a n00b when it comes to Asus but I've been hearing about them quite a bit and after a bit of a websearch, I've sort of landed on an Asus notebook that really appeals to me (As far as the specs go anyways :) )

    # Operating System: Windows XP Professional
    # Processor: Intel Core Duo Processor T2130 1.86GHz
    # RAM: 1024MB DDR2 667 Memory
    # Hard Drive: 120GB hard drive 5400 rpm
    # Display: 15.4” WXGA (1280*800) active matrix colour TFT
    # Optical Drive: DVD±RW Supermulti
    # Interfaces: 1x VGA port (D sub 15pin), 4x USB 2.0 ports, 2x Audio jack: Ear phone, Mic-in, 1x RJ45, 1x RJ11, 1 x PCMCIA
    # Card Reader: 4 in 1 memory card slot (SD/MMC/MS/MS Pro)
    # Audio: Built-in Azalia compliant audio chip, with 3D effect & full duplex, SoundBlaster Pro Compatible, Build-in stereo speakers (1.5W)

    For 409 pounds including VAT

    I was wondering if some of you guys could give me an answer as to whether this is a good machine or not. I really can't go more than 420 pounds on the price as I'm a poor student :(

    Any help will be very much appreciated!

    Cheers!
