My Acer laptop had a swiveling webcam. I have used this feature exactly... hmm... lemme think... never. For those rare opportunities where you actually want to film your surroundings it's easier to turn the laptop around.

So that huge webcam is a minus.

Second minus: The off-center trackpad. That just looks dumb. Forget about the number pad and center the trackpad, please, it looks about 1000 times better. Granted, I never had a use for number pads. Not even for gaming.]]>Mar 19th 2008 8:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/19/asus-reveals-15-4-inch-m50-multimedia-laptop-blu-ray-penryn-i/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/19/asus-reveals-15-4-inch-m50-multimedia-laptop-blu-ray-penryn-i/

Unfortunately I can't find the ones with ATI cards.

The touch pad is offset because of the keyboard layout. Keep in mind that there is a full number pad on the right hand side of the laptop. If the touch pad was perfectly centered it wouldn't be ergonomic. That was one of the main complaints that I have been reading about the M51.

I have been reading about this laptop for a few weeks now and I think that I am going to buy this one, I just wished that I could have found a laptop with higher resolution.
