    Waiting for the ASUS G1, would the LG S1 series be better?

    I'm pretty much waiting for the ASUS G1, which has the top of the line specs for a 15.4" notebook, but what I really don't like is its build quality is still not as good. I heard LG notebooks are strong in build + have nice screens, so i'm sorta interested.

    The graphics on the ASUS is 7700go, but I won't mind stepping down to a X1600 from that and lose a DVI port...

    Any suggestions? The S1 series look really awesome.

    Apart from the video card and the flashy looks, the specs are pretty much teh same. The S1 has a WSXGA non glossy or WXGA glossy option, whereas the G1 comes with WSXGA glossy.
    Im really not sure what to suggest here :p
    Theyre both great systems. Asus systems generally dont have build quality problems as far as i know. The S1 is made of high grade plastic, and looks elegant (as compared to 'flashy' for the G1, with its lights).
    Although, considering the ~600$ price difference, i guess the G1 would be a natural choice. If you absolutely dont want the flashy looks of the G1, then the S1 is a great alternative. :)
