ASUS makes solid laptops. I love mine and have had no problems (except for some reason it won't work with my desktop speakers, but it does work with headphones and my surround sound system). I think you will be impressed with their build quality and features.

On W3V - sweet

 

.... that's awful.... can't trust'em [ ]

Thanks,

I just got my W3V last night from Justin at Proportable, and this machine is AWESOME. My wife stole the mouse and bag that came with it but that is another story altogether [} ]

I knew it wouldn't last long.... give it another week.... Check your bags this week, you might find a sony s-series swapped out and your W3 hidden someplace.

Thanks,
Justin
