They aren't bad. From the quality of their company as a whole, they shouldn't be bad. Asus is not a company who generally makes crap, since so many people have had great experience with their products, their notebooks shouldn't be an exception.

Yep. At work, we usually sell Asus, Toshiba and Titan brand laptops. They are not too bad.

You can't upgrade the processor on any laptop to what I know. Usually they are soldered on. And I think the biggest is 14.1".

Dell makes a nice 15.4 XGA one

Ahh man!! Have you seen the new Toshibas? Just ordered one for a customer! Very nice.

I dont know about Asus newer models, but the older ones had upgradeable CPU's.
They used MMO CPU's, so you could go all the way from vanilla pentium to a P2 no problem.

most new laptops use mmc modules, so you can still upgrade. I know ecost.com is one of the few companies that does sell the modules.
