Techanimal,

Here is the configuration that I have. I think fishbait acquired it through a different supplier and may have slightly different specs

15.4" WSXGA+ Widescreen (1680 x 1050)
Asus W1N w/ Intel 855PM Chipset
768MB DDR333 (Expandable to 2GB)
80GB; 5400RPM (may swap this out for the 60 GB Hitachi 7200)
ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 PRO w/ 64MB VRAM
Built-In Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 B/G miniPCI
DVD Burner
8-Cell Li-Ion; 4 hours of use
Windows XP Pro w/ SP1a
1.24" thick / 7LBS
2 year global parts and labor through ASUS
Free Targus Carrying Case, Headset, Logitech Aluminum Optical Mouse, 3 3D Games, 4-in-1 Memory Card Reader

Thats a sweet rig though i'd prefer the Radeon 9700. What are the specs of your DVD burner? Is it really 7 pounds or is that the weight as advertised?

Also, regarding 3dmark03, until fishbait or somebody else provides some benchmarks.

[This from a forummer on another site]

3D Mark03 not OCed (320/210): 2490 points
3d Mark03 OCed (420/260) : 3100 points

Fishbait:
Can you provide some details on how hot the laptop gets during normal use/gaming ?

Yes, many languages have their own keyboard layout. The Chinese use the Pinyin system which relies on the french alphabet and also the Five-strokes system, so their keyboard have english characters as well as common parts of chinese words, one from each category on each key. I imagine the Japanese keyboard would use the Hiragana and Katakana system, and would derive Kanji from those two.

If the Sony S Series specs aren't that great I have decided that this is what I will buy.
