    I've been researching laptops for a few months now and have narrowed my choices down to a 15" Asus laptop.

    The G1 series seems like the perfect solution and I'm on the verge of buying one except one thing keeps bugging me about it... its looks.

    I would really prefer a more professional looking notebook. I am sold on the hardware of the G1S but I just can't seem to accept the neon green theme, especially the WASD keys.

    What would be the next closest thing to a G1S hardware wise?

    Also, does the G1S ship with non-green WASD key replacements?

    Have you looked at the Asus F3SV? It is very similar but is not the gaming style notebook that the G1S is.

    Also, the G1S is stuck with the green WASD keys.

    Visit Gentech to see both the G1S and the F3SV. They are both under the 15" screen block (scroll down a little).

    Check out the latest MacBook Pro. I personally have bought one so I am biased, just picked it up today. It is light, professional, and can play with all the os's. It ain't cheap, but it was my birthday yesterday, so I could forgo being frugle. My last laptop was a refurbished one, so I was saving up for this one, yeah that's right ;)
