glassJAw Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Well I think I'm going to build this laptop.

gwprod12 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I think it sounds like a good idea... just make sure that the place you're buying it from isnt a fly-by-night.

scottysmo88 Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 What do you mean? Let me tell you, the S96J is perfect. In fact, it's the very computer I'm using right now. I got it from here. They assemble it and everything. You can even choose upgrades. All that for $1370! And it's everything you need.

My only concern is that I don't want a logo on mine unless I could find something that would be cool but I would have a hard time choosing what to put on there. I'm getting 2nd thoughts now though... http://www.resellerratings.com/seller2001.html Seems like people are not really happy with them...

rschultz101 Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 cpu = 1 core 2 duo, is that for install only, or does it only run on 1 cpu ? defeats the purpose to switch to a core 2 duo, since I need it for raw file conversions. thanks, Robert (that's what I meant by fly-by-night) =] Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/23015-asus-s96j/#findComment-228267 Share on other sites More sharing options...
