    Greetings!
    A couple months ago, I had Protable One build an Asus Z61a. ( No, it isn't listed on their website, I just asked if they could build it and Ivan did. ) It is awesome! I almost went for an IBM or an HP, because I wanted the traditional 4:3, non-glare screen, but didn't want all of the bloat in software or be tied to proprietary system components. The Z61 a weighs 5.3 pounds with the battery, runs word, internet, etc. 4.5 hours+. It's very quiet and it only gets a little warm one place on the bottom - not hot at all, very comfortable. It has a 1.8 Pm, 80 gb Hitachi 7200 and 1 gig of ram. Magnesium cover, firewire, USB2.0, PCMCIA slot, VGA out, integrated sound and video - not for gamers or audio afficianados, but provides great battery life, which you can increase an extra 4 or 5 hours with the drive bay battery. I smile every time I open it. Great job and great service from P1. Thanks Ivan!
    Searunner.

    You could post it in the portable one forum...... and the Z61a went end of life back in January..... there aren't many people who are going to be helped by this information in the long run, but can't fault you for posting it.
