    Hi all,
    I'm in the market for a new laptop and after doing several hours of online research I'm finding that the Asus A6Km-Q002H fits my needs and £800 budget well.

    Here's a link to the spec page:
    http://www.asuslaptop.co.uk/proddetail.php?prod=Asus_Laptop_A6Km-Q002H

    I was wondering if anyone on the board here was familiar with the A6Km and could give me some comments on it - or any links to online reviews. Specifically, I'm curious about battery life, screen quality (and whether or not it comes with the lovely glossy type or the matte type), and 3-D performance.

    Furthermore, in order to help me compare it to some of the other laptops I'm considering, if anyone knows the MobileMark 2002 or 3DMark2003 scores that this model achieves, I love to see them.

    I guess the main reason that I'm having trouble finding reviews of this model is that it wasn't released in the US. All I seem able to find are some positive responses to the model's announcement a few months ago. This leads me on to my next question - can anyone recommend a good Asus UK-based reseller? I like what I see on the asuslaptop.co.uk store, so I'll probably go with that one.

    Finally, how is the build quality on the A6 series? (Not in comparison to more expensive Asus models, but instead to equivalently priced other brands.)

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi again,
    Since my previous questions didn't really provoke the volume of response that I was hoping for, I wonder if anyone could give me any feedback on the A6 series in general?

    I'm really interested in learning about build and screen quality and durability, and also about how Asus notebooks tend to compare to similarly priced offerings from other brands.

    And here's a big question - does any other notebook compete with the A6Km in terms of multimedia abilities and battery life at a similar price point? As a reminder, the A6Km features an Athlon Turion 64, 512MB DDR RAM, and the GeForce Go 7300?

    Anyway help at all would be very, very gratefully recieved!
    Thanks.
