Hi Everyone!
Thanks so much for posting. Just repeating the Acer reply here in case you didn't read it.
So I went to Funan yesterday, had a scoot around and plumped for the ASUS G2S!!!! It really feels like a proper desktop replacement. I know desktops provide much better value for money and performance (well I think notebooks might be overlapping now) but I needed the portability.
I'm sooooooooooooooo impressed and totally over-the-moon about it.
It's easily by far the nicest computer I've ever owned!
And I got a discount and promotions too!
It has the new Santa Rosa chip in it :
Intel Centrino Duo Proc T7500 2.2Ghz, 4MB
nVidia GeForce 8600M GT with 256MB (GDDR3)
17 inch screen
2GB RAM
200GB HDD
plus an external 80GB drive, backpack and 1600dpi gaming mouse!
It was retailing around $3800-3900 but I got mine for $3550, which is a little bit above what I wanted to spend but I think I got lots more for just a bit more money.
First impressions are just Wow! the only downside is that it's really really heavy at about 4.5kgs but it was never intended to be lugged around outside really, just from room to room. The screen is amazing but the sound is average - it doesn't live up to the rest of the spec but that's ok for me. I was told that it's the only equipment used and endorsed by the WCG (World Cyber Gaming) competition - whom I think might be coming to Singapore soon.
