single core for almost half?? this is a $1200+ laptop that you have here. if you could somehow get a z71v for $900 bucks I'd sure as heck like to know what truck this fell off of. P.S. They make this with a 64 mb vid card?? are you sure? when I bought mine a year ago all I had seen...

at the same time..... 3d audio sounds like a great idea, but then most of us are again gaming on speaker setups that cost no more than 100 bucks. and yes, they often only are 2.1 systems, not the 5 or 7 speaker behemoths that these sound cards require to actually be of any real value to the...

well, I bought my z71v last summer from Integrated System Technologies, Inc. (www.istnc.com) and have only had an absolutely wonderful experience w/ them. check out their reseller ratings.

man, 19" and only 1440x900?? that sucks, my asus z71v is 15.4" and 1680x1050 I hate how these lappy manufacturers keep sticking these crappy resolutions on these huge screens, it just seems so meaningless to make the display bigger but keep the same res

"hope there's no kids involved?" aight, so I guess i'm the only one that saw the joke with the original post........

from not fully reading the post until this moment (stupid me) i'd recommend the crossover cable. you could always just share the monitor between the two comps and swap as necessary to establish the connection.

heck, by the simple fact that he has 2 computers would lead me to believe that he's go some sort of router/switch set up to share internet.... which by itself would be enough to put together a connection to transfer the files pretty damn fast (even if at only a "measly" 100Mbps)

who cares about what you're doing... .just the simple fact of being able to have a webpage open with AIM on the same screen at the same time or the dozen other uses of having multiple windows visible at once more than warrants the widescreen. they're really not any bigger than the typical...

I've taken tons of structures classes but I hope that I am not the only one so confused in trying to conceptualize what this acutally looks like?? In a bridge, you're not gonna just be using simply supported W-shapes, this thing is definately gonna be some sort of truss structure. Its not...

heyyy, congrats on the purchase. geared2play is another one of those great sites on the Net. enjoy the lappy.

Integrated Systems Technologies is where I got mine from. http://www.istnc.com you can find a whole list of many more through asus's website.

one difficulty to this I can think of would be really in testing the graphics card itself. in all benchmarks online, you'll have one set system and just swap in and out different video cards. this is simply impossible with notebooks. you can still get an idea as to how well they work across...

my mistake about the 15", i know a friend of mine bought nearly the same one as that and it was 17" and i assumed yours was the same.... but anyways..... its about 6.5 pounds or so with the battery and no, its not a pain to carry it around. i do it every day and if anything i guess i've...

Man, I'm typing on my z71v right now and absolutely love the thing. There are 2 points of major notice to think about and you did already mention the screen on the z71v being many times better than that on the dell. another fact is that the dell is 17", which means that its also that much...

Yeah, I'm with em.... usually I would have said to up the RAM from 512 but considering the 4200 rpm HD I'd recommend upgrading that. But of course if you're feelin that wallet is a bit too fat you may be able to up that to a gig for relatively cheap as well and probably get nearly as...
