    What do you think of the W90? Anyone has it? I need something like a beast..

    Any problems faced. Is asus a good brand like Sony for example? (forgive me for asking such a question, it may sound dumb Should I get something like a DDR3 laptop? because the only thing that this laptop lacks is the DDR3 RAMs. What do you think about the built quality? Is it delivered fast , I mean they do not spend time building it like Dells and so on, right??? how about screen quality?? What about the Video cards , in what way they are different from the ones in the M17(alienware) the new ATIs I mean.. how are they better. Does the keyboard flex. Any thing else you might have on your mind will be very helpful to me. I am comparing this to the M17 and the other workstation laptops..

    Here's some information about the W90

    W90 Owner's lounge
    NBR's official W90 review
    Vicious' W90 review

    As for the Asus brand, you may want to know that Asus is an ODM, as opposed to an OEM such as Sony, Dell, or other better well known brands. Asus makes their own notebooks and even manufactures(ed) notebookes for other companies such as Apple, Dell, Sony, Toshiba and many others.
    Asus sells their notebooks through retailers/resellers, so the delivery process is usually immediate since everything is already pre-configured. All your specific W90 questions can be found in the reviews linked above.
