What Do You Think of ASUS Laptops?

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?"

    I was thinking of purchasing a dildo, but I couldn't decide weather I should get the black one or the white one. They both have so many features.

    This site is really going downhill lately...

    I recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 2100 which I am very happy with. Magnisum casing, PIII 700mhz, 256mes, built in 10/100 ethernet. I bought a Lucent Orinoco Silver 802.11b wireless card off ebay for $89, which also has a port for an external antenna, very nice. The laptop also has a 12.1" screen that does 1024x768 which makes things very sharp. Both cdrom and floppy are external so it's only 3.4lbs, the battery lasts about 3 hours with light use. Dimensions are 10.7"x8.7"x1.0" very light and pretty durable. The only part on the case I worry about is the fan vent is in the back on a corner which means if it drops and hits that corner those vents are going to break pretty quick.
