Bought it from ISTNC. It was on back order for near two months because of the delayed shipment of the machine from ASUS.
It is a very nice machine.
My specs:
T7500 2.2GHz
1x2GB DDR2-5300
80GB 7200RPM Hitachi
DVDRW
4965 AGN wireless card
I think everything else is standard (GF8400go 256MB, 6cell battery, built in webcam, built in finger print reader).
It gets pretty hot even when idle. The fan is ridiclously silent.
Driver install was pretty easy. For those installing drivers, the unknown devices are the picture card reader, and the base system devices are related to the fingerprint reader.
The finger print reader requires the software install on the CD.
The webcam makes noise when initializing.
The touchpad buttons pick up finger prints pretty easily.
The lid is awesome. There is no button to push to open it. It seems to close through the use of a magnet? No clue. There is no button or lock device.
Havent tested the battery life but the battery sticks out a bit in laterally, away from your stomach (as opposed to towards your legs) if you were to hold the laptop while sitting down.
The screen is bright. Its brighter than my Samsung 213T desktop LCD, but not as bright as the ultrabright HP dv9500 screen.
In the box was:
S37S laptop
6cell battery
90W AC adapter (19V x 4.74A)
1 cloth for screen wipe
1 Driver cd
1 manuals cd
1 nero cd
1 ASUS DVD, MediaShow, PowerDirector cd
ISTNC gave me a little gift with the laptop which was not ASUS branded. So that was nice.
Any questions please ask.
Im running Vista Home Premium on it with no problems.
Vista Performance scores:
5.1 CPU (T7500)
4.7 RAM (1x2GB DDR667)
3.0 GFX Aero (GF8400go 256MB)
4.0 GFX Gaming (GF8400go 256MB)
5.2 HD (80GB 7200RPM Hitachi)
