[QUOTE=sbando;1002747]What's wrong with Asus now?[/QUOTE]
I have a few friends that bought Asus laptops... they looked like shit after a few years of use and were pretty much tossed to the side. It is my opinion that they are shiny and new looking at first but sort of turn to crap after a short while. But hey, maybe they are more robust now :) best of luck, let us know how you like it in a couple years ya? :)

OT: congratulations to not buying a mac!!! :D
Re: I almost bought my first Mac
I gotta say my macbook pro is still pretty good after 4 years ... almost wished I had an excuse to buy a new one :lol:
Re: I almost bought my first Mac
I am a huge fan of Asus, been using them for years. still not a mac but good enough :)

Exactly. My macbook looks nearly brand new still... The few issues I've had Apple fixed my computer for free and replaced anything with cosmetically, no matter how minor. My laptop is 6 years old. (bought it used on craigslist, no applecare).
Wife has the new macbook pro, it's a nice machine.

Yep. I'm going on almost 5 here with my MBP. Same issue, want a new one, don't have a good reason. Logic Board went out last year, I didn't have applecare, wouldn't have mattered anyway as it would have been a year out of applecare, so basically I was 3 years out of warranty staring at a $1000 logic board repair, and apple fixed for free anyway.

Re: I almost bought my first Mac
Looks like a nice machine Kat ;)
Happy with my new MacPro .. but miss aspects of windows and some of their applications/ease of use etc.
Re: I almost bought my first Mac
Don't listen to me Kat, for all I know it's a great machine... technology changes so quickly these days, the asus laptop my friend had was the mini size and this as like 5 years ago ... congrats on the new computer, the most important thing you like it and suits your purposes.

That's all one ever needs.
Re: I almost bought my first Mac
That thing looks pretty. Looks a bit big though.
Asus I think has been stepping up their game lately. I want to see their iPad competitor which is just coming out, the Transformer Prime: [URL]http://www.androidauthority.com/asus-transformer-prime-hands-on-pictures-31956/[/URL]
Super slim, fast and you can buy a secondary keyboard and it turns into a laptop. Looks pretty sweet.
Re: I almost bought my first Mac
Ok my macbook pro keyboard and track pad has started freezing on me. :(

^Same ol' cheap junk, LOL.
The small red/blue monitors are so cute, next to a Yamaha micro system they'd be the cutest.
Note: I have a pair of Genelecs I don't use, that's why I'm a moron and a tramp.
