    ok guys well finally got my lappie this week. And I must say WOW what an incredible laptop.

    When opening the package I was amazed at the quality stickers that ASUS put on it. Makes you feel really bad taking it out makes you wish it could remain. Well I took out all stickers except the intel core 2 duo and the windows 7 sticker I left those 2.

    13.3 inch screen is nice nice. Perfect size really didn't know it would work so great. Can definitely do photoshop and browse the net perfectly even watch movies. Its a massive step from a 10 inch netbook. Who knew 3 inches would make such a big difference.

    Anyways laptop is light very light and SLIM. Its COOOOOL only gets slightly warm. But nowhere near as hot as HP and DELL and other fullsized laptops.
    Bottom is very cool compared to most notebooks this is definitely cooler than the Acer timeline with walljet cooling,

    Battery life is awesome mine is rated 10 hours I get about 8 hours browsing the net etc with high brightness. 6 hours constant movie HD /Gaming with max performance settings and highest brightness and max volume on the built in speakers.

    Has nice blue neon led really really nice keyboard and I love the trackpad.

    Its very FAST can't tell the difference between this and my desktop 3GHZ Athlon II X2 250 based off the amd phenom II X2 core.

    Wireless works great but not as good as the intel wifi on my previous sony vaio.

    This laptop is SEXY. Everything from looks to the built in fancy stuff thay pops up when you increase brightness and sound I believe its called OSD.

    Overall I love this thing my next laptop will be a ASUS Bamboo maybe in future when the price drops.

    Anyone looking to buy one of this go right ahead. No need to waste $1200 on a mac book when you can get this ASUS thats superior for $600
