All,
I have decided to get the 8104.
There is really no big difference between the Acer 8104
and the Asus Z71V. My problem is now . . . where do I get
it from ?
--> I am looking for the best seller with the most
--> flexible return/warrenty policy. Even if it costs
--> an extra $100 between the resellers.
Just in case I get something that has any imperfections,
yes this will be my first laptop. Will be replacing my old
desktop a lowly Pentium III - 800 as my main development
environment, and I want PERFECTION !
FYI : Reasons why I chose Acer ?
* No real world difference with X700 vs 6600 (although X700 a little faster)
* No real world difference with 5400 vs 7200 drives
* Supports my digital camera with its xD card type
* Looks better
The only drawback I would see is trying to boot Linux, but with ATI
coming out with native drivers I hope they will help this. A minor issue
really I have my old desktop for that
