True true. Are we talking about the Asus? I bought my comp off of ebay *custom* and it has an Asus mother board. The only thing that went wrong with it is the power supply. That was the 1 thing dude stressed that I upgraded but I didn'tlol my luck everytime.

Yea it was an open box Asus,thats why it was so cheap.From what I read Asus are supposed to be a good company and there based in the US.Fuck buying shit new though im always gonna buy open box or refurbished electronics now you save so much.
The tv I got from amazon was only 400 because it has some scratches on the side of it,the screen is fine and thats all that I cared about,you cant even see the scratches unless your looking for them.It would of costed me like 599 to buy it new.

Well incase anybody cared or was thinking of picking up an Asus laptop.
From what I can tell is that its a good one I ended up going with the x2 version of the one posted above.I had it for 2 days now and its great.I got it for 400 because it was open box.I still cant find any of the outer housing damage they described about it.Im thinking it was the box it came in they were talking about.I love windows 7 and how this laptop got this touch pad feature that you just push down on it and you can open any link with it.
Im so glad I got this now because I turned my old shitty mac off and when I went to turn it on later it will not boot up it just freezes lol.I think I gotta reinstall the os.
Heres the specs on the Asus

lol amazon still hasn't cleared my card.There saying I need to get my bank to fax some paper work to them because I put the wrong billing address in on accident.I dont feel like doing all that shit right now so fuck amazon for now lol.Its also a H&R block tax return card so I probably would have to contact them idk.
Check out newegg.com thats were I ordered from,There open box/refurbished items are way cheaper then the new ones and they work fine.
I heard its way cheaper an better to build your own computer but I dont know how easy that is to do.Ebay should have some good deals to.

Dell's Alienware has a great laptop out now with two vid engines, one for hard core gaming and one integrated for webbing, and you can switch back and forth without rebooting the comp. It starts at 800, which is a great deal...

I played with the config of the alien on site and ended up at 1000 with the improvements I wanted.
Yes, alien makes some of the best gaming computers for the money, even though they got sucked up by Dell. As you build the unit it becomes apparent that they offer many ways for the computer to look very kewl ... and enough hardware beef to match the looks.

alright thanks for the advice. i will check em out. yeah i dont need anything fancy at all so refurbished would be great. i just need something to log on to riu and a way to upload pics for my wifes facebook. my boy told me he can build a nice ass comp. for a decent price. too hard to get him off his ass though.
very nice, not a bad price either.
netbooks might be the way to go.
