What Do You Think of ASUS Laptops?

Posted by Cliff on from the community-opinions dept.

Dan Guisinger asks: "I'm looking at replacing a laptop that was recently stolen and came across ASUS's new B1000 series laptop. It seams to have everything one could want, dual FireWire ports, DVD, CDRW, 15" screen, upgradable Pentium III cpu using mPGA2 sockets...it even has finger print security. My only problem while looking at the specs is the measly 1024x768 XGA resolution it supports. I am unable to find reviews on this laptop, nor most other ASUS laptops. Can anyone speak of the quality of their laptops overall? How about this particular model, has anyone seen or used the B1000?"

  6. Re:Do you need more than that on an LCD? by FallLine · · Score: 1, Redundant

    I've got an Ispiron 8k with the 15" XGA screen and I run at 1600x1200. It's _very_ crisp and bright. Not only do I tolerate this setting, but I much prefer it because it's what I'm used to working with. Having to switch resolutions for docked/road configurations is a pain in the butt (e.g., less space than you're used to, desktop icons get cluttered, etc)

    XGA? Isn't that an ancient graphics extension by IBM?
