Is it really all about using your latest and greatest for watching vids? Just curious.]]>Aug 30th 2006 10:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/asus-a8js-core-2-duo-laptop-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/asus-a8js-core-2-duo-laptop-reviewed/Aug 30th 2006 11:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/asus-a8js-core-2-duo-laptop-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/asus-a8js-core-2-duo-laptop-reviewed/
Not sure what's up, I'll try and see if I can find it again. Sorry about that!]]>Aug 30th 2006 11:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/asus-a8js-core-2-duo-laptop-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/asus-a8js-core-2-duo-laptop-reviewed/
The additional horizontal space is a godsend for spreadsheets/data manipulation, video, and pretty much ANY situation that requires more than one window.

Furthermore, usually when going to widescreens you don't lose much vertically in terms of pixels. Example: When Dell went from the D610 to the D620 the base screen option went from 1024x768 (4:3) to 1280x800 (wide), while the vertical size went from 14" to 14.1". As far as "screen real estate" goes, you have gained pixels.

This isn't always the case (the advanced option actually lost a small amount of pixels) but given the choice, I'd much rather scroll vertically than horizontally. It's just easier.

Maybe your needs differ, but I like widescreens.]]>Aug 30th 2006 11:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/asus-a8js-core-2-duo-laptop-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/asus-a8js-core-2-duo-laptop-reviewed/Aug 31st 2006 12:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/asus-a8js-core-2-duo-laptop-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/asus-a8js-core-2-duo-laptop-reviewed/Aug 31st 2006 1:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/asus-a8js-core-2-duo-laptop-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/asus-a8js-core-2-duo-laptop-reviewed/Aug 31st 2006 2:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/asus-a8js-core-2-duo-laptop-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/asus-a8js-core-2-duo-laptop-reviewed/Aug 31st 2006 10:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/asus-a8js-core-2-duo-laptop-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/asus-a8js-core-2-duo-laptop-reviewed/]]>Aug 31st 2006 3:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/asus-a8js-core-2-duo-laptop-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/asus-a8js-core-2-duo-laptop-reviewed/Aug 31st 2006 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/asus-a8js-core-2-duo-laptop-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/asus-a8js-core-2-duo-laptop-reviewed/]]>Aug 31st 2006 4:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/asus-a8js-core-2-duo-laptop-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/asus-a8js-core-2-duo-laptop-reviewed/
Your citing of office app is a little unfair and short sighted.

Low battery life wouldn't matter much, afterall no one would expect to play intensive 3D games on battery for a long time anyway.

And I love widescreen, wider keyboard is way nicer, the only thing you have to worry about for gaming is that some old games doesn't support widescreen very well, such as WarCraft. It stretches your screen instead of giving you more space.

Anyway, how much is this thing? Too lazy to check myself, I just got myself a lightweight laptop, for working.]]>Aug 31st 2006 12:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/asus-a8js-core-2-duo-laptop-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/asus-a8js-core-2-duo-laptop-reviewed/Sep 1st 2006 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/asus-a8js-core-2-duo-laptop-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/30/asus-a8js-core-2-duo-laptop-reviewed/
anyways, the price is USD1,499, imo, its an excellent investment...
