#asus_g2 After owning my Eee for a while the Asus brand has definitely been promoted a few notches. I don't know if I'll ever be in the market for a hardcore heavy-duty laptop like this, but if I were I'd consider this one simply because Asus makes it.
From a gaming perspective I'd rather just use a console, or a PC hooked up to an HDTV. From a media perspective I'd rather just use something small and compact like a Mac mini or gPC. I can see this being useful for hardcore gamers that go to a lot of LAN parties.
