Asus Z9

[liquidzyklon]

Hello, I've done a search in this forum for the words "asus Z9" and Z9 is too short, so I tried "asus z9000" and no result.

For about $1500 Cdn = $1100 US, this seems like the cheapest Pentium M laptop that I can find in Canada. I know shared video sucks, blah blah blah, but it provides ok performance to play Enemy Territory so I'm not too disappointed. The thing is that I can barely find any review or user experience with this. My big questions is being a Pentium M processor, what is the battery life? How is the build quality of ASUS compared to big companies? Since I'm planning to buy this from a small store, there's no way I can get extended warranty to protect this thing. Any help and infomation would be appreciated.

The best place I found for notebook reviews is www.notebookforums.com
They have plenty.

Hope this helps.
Also look at the current issue of MobilePc, might give you some more ideas.

Thank you I've checked that out also. Seems like the battery life is decent but doesn't compare to that of IBM or even X1000 line. Maybe he was running with the screen at full brightness?

No.... it was at 100candela/square meter

Which is 3 clicks down from the top brightness.
