Re: What to look for in a laptop?

Why would you get a 17.3" laptop?

17.3" and Laptop in the same sentence just don't go together. I'll never figure out these desktop replacements.

Re: What to look for in a laptop?

i have a big lap
Truthfully... I only use it at home and on long flights. I want something that is powerful and has a bigger screen...so for me this is perfect. I was thinking about a 18.6" but decided that would be silly.

Re: What to look for in a laptop?

Even my 13" Macbook Pro barely fits on a airplane table, that asus should pay a ticket for itself imo .

You know you can plug it to an external monitor right?

whats the price on that spaceship?
