That's just plain sad. Sad for Asus, I mean.

How ya liking that higher standard of living now? :p

Excellent pricing, and the few small tweaks i would do to this won't send it over $600, which is an added bonus. ( namely upgrading it to a 9 cell battery, and having 802.11n support. )

My Grandfather would like this laptop :laugh:

Wow, great. AMD too... weird.

Dell's been using AMD for their low-end PCs for a while now. Allowed them to introduce dual-cores at really respectable price points.
Still remember ogling at a cheap (something like £400 at the time) Dell desktop, which was better than my system... X2 3800+ (when I had the 3000+), 1GB RAM (when I had 512MB), X1300 (which could probably have caught up with my 6600 at times), and a good 17" TFT (while I had a crappy CRT that sometimes started to blur the image, warp the image's edges, and a few other weird nasty surprises, along with being ginormous). Ever since Dell introduced AMD processors in the line up, I've not been so hard on Dell... just wish they could lower the prices here to be comparable to the US prices.

Oh, and I like my standard of living just fine. I could go to the US, buy a laptop there, and bring it back with me, possibly escaping customs, by saying it's work-related or something :p end up paying the US price tag, and get the laptop without hassle.
