    I'm very interested in purchasing a ASUS notebook. I'm interested in a 17", dual core 2 processor (I would prefer the latest intel processor). The primary use would be movies, games, and stock trading software. Which model would you suggest?

    Depends what games, but I would suggest looking at other brands, since the only one worth getting in my opinion is the W2 series, but that is often too expensive, but its more oriented towards beign a media center.

    The W2p will be out in the US in about 5-6 weeks.... it's basically the best 17" you're ever going to find...
