    Hi people... I just wanted to know if any of you has the new M51 series? Or maybe you saw one at the store?

    I'm planning on buying it (or a Vaio FZ with little lower specs), but two things are stopping me from doing so... build quality and screen quality.

    Can you help me on this one? Is the Asus M51 well built or does it feel plastic cheap? and the screen.. is it good?? Asus m50 has an awesome screen but what about m51??

    Thanks so much!!

    I am also interested of that. I'd like to know the opinion of an Asus M51 owner.
    After returning the Studio 15 my options are: Asus M51, Dell XPS M1530 and MSI GX620. Definitely don't know which is better...

    I saw an M51, in a store recently, and the screen was on par and better in some cases, with the other laptops, a mixture of hp's, Acers, Compacs, Toshibas etc, no Sony's or Dells. I was even considering it myself, it was gone the next day.

    You will find links to M51 reviews and the Owner's lounge for this model in the InfoBooth sticky at the top of the forum. Check those out first.
