Replacement Laptop...

[FullmetalTD]

Well it appears that my Asus z71v has quit on me. So it seems that Im in the market
once again for a new laptop.
Looking toward a laptop that is both affordable yet powerful and also weighs under 6 pounds.
As for the specs; I'd like 2gb ram ( 1 is fine to ). Not to worried about HD size, my z71v only had 60gb so anything is fine. I would like a duel core cpu that is atleast 2ghz. Also a dedicated video card as well. Max spending limit is about $1600.00.
Now I have already done some looking around and I have found to that have peaked my interest.
Both are Asus:
F8SV-A1 >>http://www.excaliberpc.com/ASUS_F8SV...id-580899.html
W7 Series
>>http://www.excaliberpc.com/Asus_W7_S...id-580219.html

I like the F8 better than the W7 in terms of power. But I also really like the weight of the W7. ( F8 = 5.7 and W7 = 4.3 )

Looking for you opinions on these two as well as any other suggestion you might have.

Thanks

Check out the Dell Latitude or Vostro Line ... dont think your going to get something as small as the 13 inch without sacrificing your budget or some of the specs.

They have the 13 inch XPS machine but i dont know a whole lot about it since its higher on the budget scale then i ever look. If you going the gaming route, its Dell/Alienware combo product that really does gaming justice.

I have checked out the dell line of lappies. But for the price I do believe that the Asus mentioned are a better buy. Like wise the Asus W7 and the XPS 13" laptops when configured the same the XPS, if Im not mistaken, is about $500 more that that of the W7. I also like the builds of the Asus lines.
