    Hi!

    I am currently in a process of buying a new laptop computer. I realy like ASUS, because i love the design and the quality.

    However i saw the M51SN in one of the shops yesterday and i was very dissappointed about its touchpad, cheap webcam and general build quality. It suxed. I also heard that it is very loud

    That is why i am asking you, which 15,4 incher (which series) has the best build quality.

    What i need:

    Price: up to 1000€
    Processor: T7300/7500/8100/8300
    Graphic card:3470/3650/hd2600/8600gt/9500gs
    Display: 15,4 1440x900-prefferably but 1280x800 would also be ok.
    It should not be to loud
    The rest of the specs like battery life, webcam, diskspace, ram i dont care abot as most is upgradeable.

    Programs that i am going to be running - Photoshop, illustrator, dreamweaver, older games like hl2 and doom3.

    My main concern as i have stated before is build quality. Ill rather take a weaker processor and graphics card in order to get a better built computer.

    Thanx for your help!

    Denis
