why do they have to put a stinkin camera on everything these days... next thing you know they're gonna start shipping ipods with cameras... ]]>May 1st 2006 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/ Very funny! I had to control my outburst of laughter here at the office. Right on.]]>May 1st 2006 9:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/
No offense, but that would make it unusable. ]]>May 1st 2006 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/
Seriously though, why have a sticker pointing that it has a webcam? The camera mount is ugly enough that no-one is going to fail to notice it.]]>May 1st 2006 9:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/May 1st 2006 9:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/May 1st 2006 10:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/May 1st 2006 10:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/
As for the stickers. Heres a little trick. The residue comes off with a little oil, such as rubbing your finger on your nose then rubbing it on the residue. Once thats off, you then use a cleaner such as windex to remove the oil. Easy-peasy.]]>May 1st 2006 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/
Of all the features Apple sticks on thier notebooks, that keyboard backlight is the one that I can't live without. I'd like to upgrade my machine, but I won't do it until I can find another with this feature.

Does any PC maker stick a backlight in their notebook keyboard?]]>May 1st 2006 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/
The stickers on my Acer laptop came right off with no residue. Most laptop makers are smart enough about this stuff these days.

The exception is the Windows XP sticker, which is a Microsoft thing - that thing is so strong (and it's actually made of metal) that I have yet to be able to get mine off at all, residue or not. I could pry it up with a razor blade but that's gonna scratch the casing. Obviously, this sticker is on pretty much every laptop out there and it's yet another reason to curse MS.

Just be sure the solvent you use can be used safely on plastic. Test using a plastic utensil or something similar first.]]>May 1st 2006 12:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/May 1st 2006 2:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/May 1st 2006 2:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/
6-cell battery sticks out of the back too. 4-cell will probably sit flush.]]>May 1st 2006 3:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/

Asus has been doing this W model with cameras for years.]]>May 1st 2006 9:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/
Apple fans are so blind, thank god its only single digits % of the computer users base.]]>May 2nd 2006 12:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/
And for thouse of you in here who claim or **think** Apple "invented" built-in webcam on the bezels i'm sorry to say you wrong, Apple stole that idea/invention from Legend now known as LENOVO. The have been building webcams on their computers since the mid 1990's.

Before LENOVO acquire IBM they where exclusive to China and certain Asian regions and not know in the west, so Apple though no one would know about they stole the built-in webcam innovation.]]>May 2nd 2006 8:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/05/01/asus-w5f-reviewed/
