I've been using an Asus V6A (Pentium M 1.8Ghz) for over a year now and have had no problems- it's really the ideal size machine for me. With the impending release of Windows Vista, I thought it would be a good time to get a new Core 2 Duo model.
Just one problem- the V6 series has been discontinued! I'm very sad, as the only equivalent notebook from Asus is the expensive VX1 Lamborghini edition.
Does anyone know of a comparable notebook from any manufacturer? The specs I'm particularly interested in are:
15" SXGA+ display (I prefer this to the widescreen displays now more common)
Dedicated graphics (ATI or NVIDIA)
Core 2 Duo processor
5 lbs
All of Asus' new laptops seem to be veering towards the widescreen, 6+ lb specs. I feel like they've taken a step backwards in industrial design and innovation.
Thanks,
Francis
