Looking for laptop recommendations

[matutolas]

so what is the final decision,if i dont have a buget issue, but i want a fast laptop with 13" or 14" dislplay which one should i get??

For 14.1'', I say go with the Asus A8. Another one to consider would be killernotebooks.com's Kodachi. Seriously take a look at the Kodachi. It may be more expensive but it would be worth the price.

I'd advocate strongly the A8 or the V2 from ASUS.

I'd caution going to KN for the 14.1".

Just because I would like to know: why avoid the Kodachi? price?

 

[ironhell]

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 [to determine if a] Killer
Notebooks a good fit for your situation."

Dear all,

I just got an ASUS A8, though I don't play games, I design websites on it using macromedia programs, I have to say, this notebook runs so smoothly, sometimes I do wonder what's inside. (mind you, my daddy bought me the note book, I am clueless when it comes to specs, but I do know he bought 2G DRAM for me)

PS
I love my ASUS A8J
AND
my new slick KWorld Plus TV HD Hybrid Stick 330.

I'd wait another week or 2 before buying this laptop, Santa rosa came out May 9th, many company already have Santa rosa laptops but asus is a little behind. I suppose they should come out next week, or maybe they're waiting for Nvidia and their 8xxx series. So my guess is they'll be out by the 2nd week of june.

Centrino Pro:
Wireless N
64-bit CPUs (which I think isnt the case with T7200-T7600, not sure tho)
Flash memory (1Gb is about 50$)
Faster FSB (800MHz vs 667MHz)
Slightly longer battery life
DirectX 10 support
and more!
