That's a lot more detail on the specs than I know, but it looks the same. It's the ASUS something or other A-1. Pretty cool machine, but I don't like the touchpad mouse. I think I need to change the sensitivity on it or something... I LOVE the screen though! Hopefully, with a terrabite of memory I won't get that "out of disk space" freezing up that my old one kept giving me.

I think that the biggest complaint I've hear. It's said to have a stiff uni-pad button.I don't like the touchpad mouse.
Did your laptop come with a free bag and gaming mouse?
Is lunch Tuesday or Wednesday?

Yes on all counts, and I think Ross accidentally said 'tomorrow' when he meant Wed.
Not only is it stiff, but it occasionally changes the font sizes of the windows I'm in, which is annoying. I haven't used the gaming mouse yet, since I'm used to using the touchpad.

If the touch pad becomes to irritating you can turn it off when you have a mouse attached.
And yes, I did mean Wednesday.
