    Hi Guys,

    I am planning to buy a ASUS F6S, I searched the web but did not find any pics or video reviews of F6S notebooks. What I am looking for is a nice thin yet power full laptop such as F6S 13.3". I dont think I like the design of F9s or U6s and the U3s dont have a optical drives. I dont really understand why there are no reviews of F6S on the net, is it not a very popular model? is it a dead series?

    Thanks
    S

    Hi, and welcome to NBR! Unfortunately, it seems like the F6 series is only available in Australia as far as i know, and that's probably why there isn't many (if any) reviews for it. I don't think the F6S is discontinued since it does have the new penryn cpu and 9xxx series GPU.

    Based on looking at the F6s in store, and internet reports, it suffers from the typical crappy Asus battery life, and has a similar build quality to the M51. If you're looking at a 13", I'd take the Dell M1330, or if you can, the Benq S41 is a lot more powerful, and cheap too. It is a 14", but weight difference is negligible.
