    I'm looking around for a new laptop, and I got stuck on Asus because they seem to have decent design and specifications for the lowest amount of money.

    What do people think of the N80Vn-A1? It goes for about $969. It has a T5800 2.0GHz, 4GB DDR2, nVidia 9650M GT 1GB DDR2 VRAM, 320GB HDD. I can't believe how cheap this is compared to some other brands.

    Is there something better for the same money?

    Thanks for the link!

    uhh, don't get that, look at

    ASUS N80Vn-GP011C 14.1" 2.4GHz/4GB/320GB/DVD±RW Laptop
    NVIDIA GeForce 9650M GT 1GB (1024MB) DirectX 10 Support

    it is 1,159.00 but you can get a $200 rebate, and maybe some mail in rebates somewhere else.

    anybody know what the expected battery life would be on this for regular office type use with wi-fi on? Also, why no 9 cell batt option?

    My ASUS N80Vn-GP011C just arrived. Check out this post for details/etc.

    This is "older brother" of the A1 spec, but everything else besides processor should be identical AFAIK.
