I have them in my inbox so yes, they are cut and paste. And no, they don't tell the "whole unbiased story" as neither do your posts. Good luck with your endeavors Mark. Love and peace :)

Mark, you should've just let this one slip by... People know that not everyone is going to be satisfied with a company; you can't please everybody. I didn't bother posting my story because I figured, if someone REALLY cared, they can PM me. I wasn't about to divulge the entire story online...

Great! (As a matter of fact, through your posts and a few others I was convinced to try K|N. I hope you have a better experience than I did when you finally start your purchasing process.) I think it's important for people (whom you are recommending to K|N) to know the extent and limit of...

Oh, it's just that I see you are an avid supporter of K|N and constantly refer people to that company. I wanted to see where you are coming from and gauge your credibility when you speak so highly of Mark and K|N - i.e. if you have actually gone through the whole process of purchasing one from him.

I have to ask, have you purchased anything from Killernotebooks?

Because, and I quote: "14.1" market isn't something [Killer Notebook] want to pursue." If you decide to look into KillerNotebooks, I'd suggest you inquire about his "probability matrix on his server" and have him "come up with every conceivable future outcome [and] through statistical analysis...

I'd advocate strongly the A8 or the V2 from ASUS. I'd caution going to KN for the 14.1".

Unfortunately I can't decipher the code for you (also try Googling it to see what you can dig up.) I remember a time similar thing happened to my desktop a few years back. For two months, I replaced the memory, replaced TWO motherboards, the CPU AND the harddrive (and I think the problem was...

If it failed memtest then perhaps you should look into getting new RAM. Bad ram can seriously mess things up. I mean, if it's in that crappy of a condition, it's almost like looking for a needle in a haystack. Your worst nightmare could be the motherboard itself malfunctioning. At some...

With that said... I am a fan of backpacks - less bulky and cumbersome and just easier for "on-the-go". The other thing I considered is what a people told me about going on planes or anywhere with limited amount of desktop space. 17" widescreen on a plane isn't going to fare as well as a 14.1"...

Be sure to look into the max resolution too. I chose the 14.1" because I wanted maximum portability (without going TOO small like... well, anything smaller than 14.1"). It's a matter of opportunity cost - space/weight vs just a bit more visibility, your call. Keep in mind that ultimately...

I can't tell you what the differences are off the top of my head - take a look around on http://www.notebookreview.com/ for reviews. Sites such as newegg.com, Amazon.com, and ASUS.com can prove to be beneficial to answer some of your questions. Do what I did and check out Xoticpc.com They...

I second the A8JS. I have it with the 7700 v.card in it. I don't think I've seen a 14.1" with a better v.card.

Did you try turning off file indexing in Vista...?

From the research I've done and having just bought one, I really like the ASUS brand (although I have to admit my exposure to ASUS tech support is limited - had no issues with the laptop yet). They have so many options (and a kickass no dead pixel guarantee), have a look. Here's a review of an...
