Has anyone seen any of these around?

I found one on only 2 different sites, but they look to be good deals. I have been waiting for this laptop a while, as i have always preffered desktops by miles and thought of laptops as a waste of money.

For £950 ($1900 but it will be less in america, as england is expensive) you get


INTEL CORE 2 DUO E6600
2X 1GB CRUCIAL DDR2 667 RAM
160GB SATA 5400RPM
512MB 8600M GT
Intel® 945 G Chipset + ICH7
WSXGA+(1680x1050) Color Shine 15.4'' LCD
1* e-SATA Connector
1*HDMI

these are some of the main things. Because of its "desktop" components this really makes ther laptop exciting for me to take to university and allows upgrades. Obviously it has downsides like bad battery when overclocking (it allows an auto overclock up to 2.93ghz) and it will also run hot.

Im stil lexcited about getting it. What do you think?

ASUS C90 is a rock solid laptop, i like it very much, it uses Desktop
Intel Core2Duo processors and has a very nice and good LCD
overall its a solid laptop, the battery is good too also u dont have to OC because if u dont do heavy apps then the difference between 2.4 and 2.9 isnt very much

i say go for it, it has a very good a reasonable price too
