Looking for a new notebook......

[Master Chief]

Okay, I want to buy a new notebook. I am going to use it mostly for school and some light gaming and I want to spend around $1300. I like Asus, Toshiba, and others, but not Dell, HP, or Compaq. I found one on newegg on the like below, so if anyone could tell me if its a good buy or if you can show me something similar to it, I would appreciate it a lot, thanks.

The one you selected is good, just upgrade to 2GB of RAM when you get it (either by getting 2 1GB sticks, 1 2GB stick or a 2GB kit (sometimes more expensive than individual sticks)). You may want to see if you can spare the extra money for one with at least a WXGA+ screen. WXGA is 1280x800 and on a 15.4 it is ugh. At least with WXGA+, you'd get 1400x900.

If you want more info, there is a very active Asus forum over at NotebookReview.com
