Well, i'm about to change from a Toshiba Tecra M3, lost with broken GPU (GeForce 6600 TE), i'm about to buy another and here where i live Asus notebooks aren't common. As a matter of fact, I've never seen one !
So, how about its durability ?
are they really dependable ? Can I trust one of then as I'd a Toshiba or Sony ?
well, i'm old-fashioned and had a fullscreen 14" notebook, and now as I can find these screens and good 3D, I'm thinking in this Asus:
ASUS F3JP-AK048P http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16834220118
Has good CPU (Core 2 Duo 2GHz), X1700 256MB (what does that Hyper memory means in this card ? I thought it was just for lower end cards ! Is it good it can use up tu 512MB ? ) 120GB SATA HD and some more ...
I have 2GB DDR2 from last Notebook so a new one doesn't need to have much.
Would this be a good buy ?
Some more info, I'm a big Quake fan, so I really play Quake 1, 3 and 4 (widescreen is a problem for old games ?), and also I do use Unix OS, FreeBSD and some Linux, so good compatbility should be wellcome
I've read some reviews, but I'd like to hear real people with real notebooks in real life
thanks in advance
