About 1, 1 and 1/2 years ago, I was cruising these forums and the laptops everyone was envious of and anxious to get were the Asus Z71V and the Acer 8104 (8204?)
I bought a Z71V and never used it as a laptop (always plugged into my LCD/keyboard/mouse) and didn't like the screen sparkle so I sold it and have used a desktop since then.
Now however, I am in more of a position to use a laptop vs a desktop and would like an idea of what is really good right now.
I am looking for something similar to what the Z71V and the 8104 were about a year ago, that is, pretty cutting edge but not overpriced, with good battery life, a great video card, and not behind the times on FSB/processor.
I'm interested in 17" but leaning towards 15.4". Not looking for a huge 10lb brick. Will probably plug in most of the time but still want good battery life.
Would like to configure it as much as possible too.
MMM K thanks.
