    Leaning towards getitng this in the next week or two. My main question is, what am I sacrificing by going with the F25 over the G15 or G25 (besides a few hundred dollars)? I like the F25 because its within my price range (1600-1850) and it has a pretty fast processor, lots of memory and ram, and is highly rated for what I need it for: internet browsing, multimedia (but NOT gaming), and handling lots of applications at once. But, there aren't a lot of reviews of the F25 out there. What are people's thoughts on this computer?

    Wew...tough crowd. Your reply didn't really get at the heart of what I was asking, so I'll repeat the question HERE for others to weight in:
    What am I losing by going with the F25 over the G15 or G25, and what are peoples' experiences with the F25? I've found it hard to find very many reviews of this particular model, which makes me nervous to shell out 1700...thoughts?

    Just don't cross post and you should be fine ;) About your question: What's your main priority when you use your computer, mulitmedia or gaming? The Qosmio F25 will be an excellent mulitmedia machine, but isn't a spectacular gamer

    No problem. Xam...I need a pc for multimedia purposes, plus I like to surf the net with five-six windows open at a time, with ultimate bet running as well as Itunes. So I want a comp that can handle all that well and won't break down on me after a year or two. I'm just a little frusterated at the lack of F25/G15 reviews- its like the older brother (G25) who is a movie star, and the younger brothers who work for non-profits and are saints but still get no attention from their parents (sorry, but I'm an English major, not a computer guy, hence the analogy...). Thanks for the help- I'd be interested in hearing other peoples thoughts on the F25.
