Asus M6ne WSXGA (no, not a misprint) review - Page 3

256k color max for M6NE WSXGA?

One quick question for you guys... on the Asus Australia site it says 256k color max for the 15.4" WSXGA screen. Is this a misprint? If not then do you notice this during usage?

I think I read somewhere here that this is simply Asus's way of speccing and that they are the same as everyone else's.

no this is perfectly normal. lcd's (except the SUPER freaking expensive ones) use dithering of 256k colors to make the millions that others claim to have. 90% all just have the 256 and use dithering.

Ok thanks guys, I was leaning more towards the UK version Samsung X30 HWC 745 but I think that's going to run me closer to $4000 Canadian. If they have similar screens I think the M6NE would do, the biometric scanner on the Samsung is nice but I could live without and it seems the M6NE gets better battery life, although it's heavier. Tough choice, any suggestions?

I still love my M6ne. If it had one of the new Xbrite/Brightview screens (and an ATI 9800 ) it would be perfect.

Just a quick question: Does it have integrated microphone ? Or do you have to plug one in?

There's a built-in microphone hole just below the bottom left part of the keyboard (top of left palmrest)
