the v6 power brick

hiya everyone,

Im in the process of deciding on a laptop, and before today ive had my eyes fixed on a sony s3xp (s380 to some), but after reading opinions, i decided that i need to sus out the market to do justice to the money im going to spend. after looking at the v6 on the net, and reading peoples opinions, im really inpressed with it. One thing i would like help with, is how heavy and big the power brick is, as i would also have to carry that around at times.

thanks for reading
adios

 

It's really small

4.5" x 1.75" x 1" -- it's light, I don't have a scale though..... it's the same power adapter that people have for the M6 and the W1... so they should be able to make comments.

Thanks,
Justin

oohh, yer that is good. Are there any problems people find with the laptop that you know of?, i notice you, proportable, run a shop, have you had any back yet?

thanks for replying, so far ive been rather impressed with it, and here in england, its alot cheaper than the s3xp, and overall a little bit more suited to what i want.

No, certainly none back. The only thing anyone could "complain" about is the lack of veritical viewing angle....... but that is a problem on all 15.1" regular ratio lcd's with SXGA+ resolution... if you want to nit pick, that is the only thing I've heard, but you can't expect more of of that precise size and res of screen.

Thanks,

meh, yer the screen wouldnt bother me, its sounding nicer by the second. one last bit of info i wouldnt mind knowing tho, ive been looking (prob not hard enough), but i cannot find wether it is possible to buy an extended warranty from asus?, i would be taking it to uni as my only machine, so it would be rather usefull.

thanks for all the info so far

You might be able to call asus in the UK and get another year... maybe.. I'm not sure how they work it over there.

Thanks,

yer, ill email them, i was assuming as it was an world-wide warranty it didnt matter were you got one from.

anyway im hooked none the less, ill be back on here to give a little review when i get it. adios

 

Well, they don't offer anything more than the 2 year...... but you may be able to call them and up the warranty to 3 year.

Thanks,
Justin
