    Just notice that ASUS have slipped a new notebook on their USA website only, called the Z9000. Looks like it for those who want a low-mid weight machine that can handle a bit of gaming etc/mobility at a reasonable price (had a quick look around most are around $1000). Similar specs to the compaq X1000 series!

    Oh, that's just great. Another lappy for me to look at. That's exactly what I need:
    More options.
    Sheesh. The market is just about saturated, don't you think?

    Every time I think the market is saturated, someone else drops a new bomb. Even individual companies seem saturated at times...Dell and Sony come to mind.
