Who has the new ASUS A8Js

Does anyone have the A8Js? If you do I wanted to know how you like it. I am a student and planning on lugging it around alot, is it portable enough and another very important question is how long is the battery life. I know the review for this rig is already on the site but i would like someone elses opinion. Thanks

 

I've got it, and my experience pretty much matches that of the review.

With heavy sustained browsing and some fiddling with system options I got a battery life of around 2hrs 40 mins.

As for weight, my wife (who is 5'3" and 95 lbs) thinks it's light and has no problem lugging it around.

 

You know, you can use the search function to get all these informations

 

There are more then a couple dozen threads, just look down the page even.

As per most current models, there are always a huge megathread thats active.

there are more new a8js threads than a8jm/w3j threads!

 

thats because its the new latest and greatest =)

 

I like mine, although i had it for only 2 days, and i havent really unplugged it to test the battery life. but everything seems good, i got 2672 on 3dmark06 also so it seems like mines a bit above average.

 

I got 2664 on 3dmark06 ... pretty close. I had firefox and my mail client running in the background too, along with random utilities I didn't bother to shut down.

 

I got 2665 in 3DMark06, which is about right since some people are getting a range from 2400-2600.

The batterylife is roughly 2 hours and 30 minutes, depending on your settings and screen brightness.

This laptop is 14" widescreen, weighing roughly 5.2-5.4lbs and its a very portable performance machine.

 

i got a 2624 in 3dmark 06 last night with stock graphic drivers.

 

I have stock graphic drivers too, i tried installing the one from nvidia, and it said it didnt recognize it or something so i just left it alone.
