    I am planning to buy an Asus M6800V (or M6826VUP), but I have not been able to find any reviews of it, so I would appreciate if anybody who was in possession of it would please list what they find good and bad about it (souch as battery life, weight, noise, screen and so on.) or if anybody has some links to reviews.

    Thank you in advance. :centrino:

    Well you can take the reviews on the M6N as a good guide....as these two models are essentially identical...the only difference will be the m/b. For this the V6 and W3 can provide benchmark guides...battery life should be similar to the M6Ne...maybe slightly less but basically the same.

    Thanks for your reply.

    You say "the reviews"? I cannot find any (searched Google and these forums.). Could it be true, there are none?

    Look at reviews of the Z70v, its the american "build to order" version of the M6V
    Its a very nice machine.

    So you mean it is almost the same machine? Thanks for your help.

    Yup, the Z70v is the customizable version of the M6V. Meaning that you can chose the hd, ram, processor etc. that you prefer. It is only available in the US though. But the chassis, lcd and motherboard are identical, afaik.
