    Some loser named coriolis put together a review of his Z70Va:

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?p=1141494

    I'm just kidding coriolis, you're the best, and you took more pictures of your notebook than anyone else that's ever done a review.

    And lest we forget, coriolis is the original artist for all of our smilies, such as this :asus: .

    Great review Coriolis!! Congrats!!!!!!!!! :D

    I got my Z70va about a week ago. It's absolutely fantastic (specs/pics below). I was going to compare it to the HP nw8240, but after a couple of days with it, I cancelled the HP.

    In addition to my work-related software, I loaded Doom 3, Riddick, and several demos. They all play flawlessly, even the Battlefield 2 demo! I hit 2563 on 3DMark2005, yesterday, using the included drivers and no overclocking. Awesome machine!!!

    GLad to see you went with the Z70Va.

    It certainly is a sexy machine! I wish my M6Ne was that sleek... but then again, I'm only different by a few fan vents, a touchpad, a power button, and a couple of port placements.... :cool:

    Thanks, Aurora! It was no contest after having this baby in my hands.

    I received a couple of PMs asking about the case in my middle pic. It's a Targus BlackTop Messenger and it's perfect for any 15.4" notebook.

    Been too buisy taking complaints from people about the horrible loud fans in this thing. Am i crazy or is this thing one of the more silent mobile powerhouses out right now? Some guys on notebookforums are really going overboard with this. Why is this forum so different and correct. I cant take it anymore. Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh

    How ironic that people always expect perfection in this imperfect world of ours...
