The desktop processor choice are nice, but 3GB max RAM is disappointing and kind of self defeating. ]]>Jun 18th 2007 3:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/18/asus-reveals-full-specs-for-c90-customizable-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/18/asus-reveals-full-specs-for-c90-customizable-laptop/Jun 18th 2007 3:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/18/asus-reveals-full-specs-for-c90-customizable-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/18/asus-reveals-full-specs-for-c90-customizable-laptop/
On a less upgradeable laptop, this would be less of an issue - the laptop would likely be replaced before 64-bit applications became widespread. Even then, the Macbook Pro supports 4GB (because of OSX, I'd guess).

Of course, this situation may change with new RAM sticks of larger capacities - these are so Asus's official specs.]]>Jun 18th 2007 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/18/asus-reveals-full-specs-for-c90-customizable-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/18/asus-reveals-full-specs-for-c90-customizable-laptop/Jun 18th 2007 3:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/18/asus-reveals-full-specs-for-c90-customizable-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/18/asus-reveals-full-specs-for-c90-customizable-laptop/Jun 18th 2007 3:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/18/asus-reveals-full-specs-for-c90-customizable-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/18/asus-reveals-full-specs-for-c90-customizable-laptop/Jun 18th 2007 3:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/18/asus-reveals-full-specs-for-c90-customizable-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/18/asus-reveals-full-specs-for-c90-customizable-laptop/Jun 18th 2007 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/18/asus-reveals-full-specs-for-c90-customizable-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/18/asus-reveals-full-specs-for-c90-customizable-laptop/

"Li-Ion 6 cells: 4800mAh, 53W (removable): 4.5 hours run-down life"

-Yawn-

"SATA HDD" (assuming just one)

-zZZzZz-

"Up to WSXGA+(1680x1050) Color Shine 15.4'' LCD" (no mention of LED backlight)

-snore-

If it's going to be upgradable, why set the bar so low on its highest options? The best this offers are minimum specs on comparable laptops. Sounds like suck to me.

At 17" they not only fit better cards, but also additional graphics cards. So I'm not sold that the 2 extra inches give you THAT much more room. I'm pretty sure they can fit an extra hard drive.

Honestly I'd prefer a 7950 in a 15.4" rather than a 8600. There's no reason I would want a DX10 card. It seems that most people, like myself, are waiting until the very end to upgrade to Vista (if at all). As for DX9, my 2 year old Go6800 Ultra still beats it!! That's piss poor imho.]]>Jun 18th 2007 5:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/18/asus-reveals-full-specs-for-c90-customizable-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/18/asus-reveals-full-specs-for-c90-customizable-laptop/Jun 18th 2007 4:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/18/asus-reveals-full-specs-for-c90-customizable-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/18/asus-reveals-full-specs-for-c90-customizable-laptop/Jun 18th 2007 5:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/18/asus-reveals-full-specs-for-c90-customizable-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/18/asus-reveals-full-specs-for-c90-customizable-laptop/

It's not about performance, is it? Because ASUS doesn't make the guts. ASUS makes the casing, ASUS provides repair service etc. The casing is worse than on ACER computers (bendy, cheap plastic, uncomfortable keyboards...) and when you want to send the laptop for repairs it takes 5 weeks (personal experience). With Dell or HP (or Sony, IBM and Apple) you get quality casing and great service (e.g. Dell's next day). So what's so good about it to make such a hassle about it, huh?]]>Jun 19th 2007 7:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/06/18/asus-reveals-full-specs-for-c90-customizable-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/18/asus-reveals-full-specs-for-c90-customizable-laptop/Jun 19th 2007 3:24PM
