| 755200 | 2009-03-10 22:55:00 | Greg I bought an Asus N50Vc just before Xmas - very happy with it. Really good specs - cost around $2800... | johcar (6283) | ||
| 755201 | 2009-03-10 23:51:00 | I am looking at an HP 6730a for staff, with 15.4' display 1280x800, ATI HD3430 graphic, 2Ghz due core, 2GB RAM, 160GB HDD, wireless a/b/g/n and bluetooth v2, finger print reader etc...not bad for $1800 to the public..... | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 755202 | 2009-03-11 01:07:00 | Not a bad price SolMiester.... but it is an HP.... nearly as bad as a Dell.... :) | johcar (6283) | ||
| 755203 | 2009-03-11 01:15:00 | Bossman just reminded me again I was meant to be getting him a laptop, So I'll be getting him the Asus M51V. Personally I'd never buy another HP, The system specs on mine are fine, The software turned it into a pig. Though I gather there business orientated models aren't quite so infested with filth? |

| 755204 | 2009-03-11 03:38:00 | Not a bad price SolMiester.... but it is an HP.... nearly as bad as a Dell.... :) I dont understand that comment John, I have been in IT for over 15 yrs...All our laptop and servers are HP...As business product we need reliability and HP have never let us down...fact! You mustn't get confused between business class and general public, they are different models. By the way, that price was public retail for business class, we get them at $1618+gst... |

| 755205 | 2009-03-11 03:52:00 | You're right of course - business vs. consumer, totally different classes of machine - I'm just grumpy with HP because I've just had to junk my less-than-3-year-old HP Pavilion (Motherboard and HDD failed - had already replaced the power supply a few months ago). Buying another box (not HP this time) was not in the budget!!! | johcar (6283) | ||
| 755206 | 2009-03-11 09:54:00 | Depends what you want it for. I have an Asus N20A just bought. $2300 extremely light, 12"wxga display, p8600 Duo cpu, 802.11n +BT, 320GB HD, 4GB Memory, E-sata, Highly recommended. |

| 755207 | 2009-03-11 19:46:00 | Johcar, I see you have learned Pavilion machine's are consumer.....I dont think they ever had a great name.... We get docking stations, laptop stands and wireless input with all ours, cost just over 2K the lot. They really are a great unit, the only down side I can think of is the 5400rpm drives, I wish they would use the faster 7200 jobbies.... |

ASUS make some great laptops, but they dont do business class, just like ACER, SONY etc....I tend to think of ASUS as innovative motherboard and grahic card manufacturers, not system builders. |
