Should I defect to the Asus camp?

I got a great deal on an Asus K40IN-X1 notebook:

C2D T6400 2.0 Ghz (can replace with the T8300 from my m1330, but will this void the warranty, i.e. is there a seal that must be broken?)
4 GB RAM
free upgrade to Windows 7
320GB hard drive (will swap with 500GB from m1330)
Nvidia G102M discrete graphics, 512MB
wifi
no bluetooth, but can add via usb
no fingerprint reader
LED (!) backlit 14.1" 1366 X 768 LCD

after coupons, $740.00 Canadian + taxes

I'm going to try it out and see if it meets my needs.

If so, I'll sell my m1330 with the original T5450 and a 320GB HDD.

I really love my m1330, but I am worried about the GPU, although I do have full warranty until March 2010, and the extended GPU warranty until March 2011.

Should I just wait until my warranty is up before I jump ship?

 

Do you think you need to do so at this moment? If you need the performance boost for your current tasks, then you should.

If you're still doing fine, maybe wait a little bit. The Asus is only going to get cheaper with time and there will be something better later on.

As for warranty, I've never peeked into a K-series, but the G-series have a "warranty void if damaged or removed" sticker over one of the heatsink screws.

 

Thanks for your input. I returned the Asus today.
