New to this forum, but what I've read so far is leading me towards either of these ASUS notebooks. Thing is, I'm not a gamer -at all -
but I'm looking for a high performing workhorse laptop - I like running a lot of programs at the same time, create a lot of heavy powerpoint presentations for my work, watch films, etc. and I'm tired of my Dells
freezing up.

No current interest in Blu-Ray.
The more USB ports the merrier.
With 4GB Ram, I guess Vista 64 is the way to go.
I plan to keep this one at home connected to a large flat screen monitor, so the ASUS monitor isn't so important.

So my question - which one do you recommend I opt for?
(Secondary question - does anyone know if and where these might
be available in Europe?)
