Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
I just got this email. Just to inform Vancouver based people that we can view new Asus stuff! Unfortunately, I can't make it because I'm working tomorrow.
Anyway, to whoever will go have fun!
-
I got that email too from Frontier.
But I live in Toronto
And it was kinda of a late announcement, a week ahead would of been alot more helpful. -
I would go... except I have too much to do tomorrow. What a shame... if I had known about this at least a couple of more days ago, I would go.
Instead, I'll be packing and getting ready for my vacation
-
Nothing too spectacular... just a 9-day bus tour of the states. (California, Reno/Las Vegas... and everything leading up to it)
But considering that I've never even LEFT BRITISH COLUMBIA before, it'll be something exciting
-
Haha nice
Before April 2 years ago, I've never set foot out of Canada and the furthest I've ever been was Montreal(beautiful place by the way), but my first trip was to New York City - and it was unbelievable. I mean, TV shows NOTHING compared to going there yourself!
Have fun, it'll be a blast -
Thanks coriolis.
The good thing is that I'll have my trusty ol' M6Ne with me at the hotels... and I believe they all have internet access.
Have you been to any ASUS demos in Toronto? -
There was one here a few weeks back at CanadaSys.
Nicely displayed, had quite a time feeling up every laptop
But they didn't have the v6v which was disappointing.
The w5a is a really nice laptop, its really rigid, slim, sexy and is pretty fast. -
It looks like a nice computer...but I've seen the Dell 700m before, and if the size is anything like that, then the W5a just isn't for me.
I think my sweet spot is 14"... I'm having a hard time choosing between the Z63a and the IBM T42
EDIT: Sorry primetime for taking over your thread and turning it into a personal conversation...
-
I'll rep primetime and hopes he won't mind LOL
Yea, 14.1" is good, but I think something small would be great. I AM coming from a 15" CRT haha...
The 1680x1050 resolution is CRAZY!
The most I can handle is 1200x800 haha.
I'm probrably gonna get a 15.4"(Can't decide between z70v/lg lw60) for my main computer, then get the w5a for my lil sis, she's entering college soon, mind as well get one for her(Parents will probrably pay for hers...boo!!) so I can play around and tinker with it until i get bored and give it to her LOL! -
So you don't even have a notebook right now
I'm sure you've heard this mumbo jumbo before...but LGs are pretty solid machines. Personally, I prefer the style of the ASUS machines... the Z70v is hella sexy, but you can't go wrong with LG either.
However, if I were to do it all over again, I'd go with IBM... because I just LOVE their keyboards. ASUS is all eyecandy...but I type a lot
Go with ASUS :asus: -
I have a ThinkPad t21 right now.
I'm not currently using it as it serves as a IRC fserve
I like the ThinkPad keyboards, pretty solid, the z70v is similiar but not as.....how to say it...crisp? I don't know but there definately is a difference.
And yea, the z70v is nice, I really liked the m6bne. But the LW60 just has so many perks - I'm a sucker for perks
-
Smaller screen resolution, 1280x800 - I can't handle anything bigger, but I suppose you can change the resolution, but its not native, but it still should be fine for the ASUS?
Remote control. It's pretty sweet
Full keyboard - I've honestly almost never use the 1-0 numbers above the qwerty keyboard except on my Thinkpad.
It's gonna cost me a bit over $2000 after taxes, about the same price of a similiarly spec'd z70v(although processor is 1.7 compared to 2.0, ram doubled from 512 ->1gb, but no OS)
I was always careful with where I use my money - you do not want to ever shop with me, my indecisiveness is pretty annoying.
