Hi Lenni,

Thanks for taking the time to reply - It looks like quite a beast, and the spec is impressive, but it sounds like this may not be the one for me.

BTW, I am a B & O user - have been for many years, I just don't post a lot on this forum

Dear Shazbat, basically I can recommend, but:

pre-installed SW is too many, you have to reduce manually. Sometimes my mouse freezes. Even with installing all newest drivers, it still happens sometimes.

Sound and screen is fantastic, keybord too dark and not illuminated.
Aluminium no problem to keep clean.

If you are B&O enthusiast, there is no other desktop replacement Laptop.
If not, there might be better ones.
Kind regards, Lenni

Hey Guys,

No-one offer an opinion on my post above? Also how easy is the aluminium to live with?

Apologies for re-activating an old thread, but can you tell me if this machine has a backlit keyboard? And are you happy with it? Any problems/issues?

Thanks,

Shazbat

mr_anders_son:
is there a laptop in this??

Let's hope there is a laptop in there!

If I get one, I realized it's going to be a larger project. I'll need a new desk and and new lamp

girl is girl but pretty girl is something that touch you inside

I prefer touching on the outside though....

Electrified,

In one hand I agree with you but on the other is complete different story.

I will try to be simple as much as I can

I can say I'm addicted to Apple! 5 iMac's one MBP one old PB ...
And I'm running windows in almost all of them ( except PB g4 :). Why? because things you mentioned above, simply OSx is not professional tool ( please osx fan's don't shoot me :)
But, you must admit ... Dam they are pretty ! and that's it ...

Let say you can assemble great stereo for same amount of money like one pair of B&O speakers ... but I doubt they will be so nice and pretty like B&O :)
And that's is my point ... girl is girl but pretty girl is something that touch you inside

Yup, they do look "pretty", but it's a tool, and as such I just want them to work, have the ability to plug what I want into them, and I need better ergonomics than a huge touchpad where more and more controls are with (huge) swipes.
I am now a complete trackpoint user - never use a touchpad anymore. It's much less strain for your arms and wrists.

Besides, there's not enough "pretty" in the world to make up for a intermittent lack of firewire (they seem to remove it when they feel like it), no expresscard slot, non-swappable batteries, poor build quality, poor screen real estate and what have you (1440x900 on a 15" screen is just too little. My 12" Thinkpad has that resolution).

So, no, even running Windows on my Macs wouldn't solve all of the issues for me. Some would be solved, but far from them all.

My cutting tools are quite nice these days. I have a nice chainsaw and splitting maul that iskind of awkward to carry around (Thinkpad W500) and a fine carpenter's axe to do the finer stuff and is easy to carry with (Thinkpad X200s, 12", 1440x900).

I prefer it that way, rather than buy limited and limiting hardware.

mr_anders_son:
strange 2 versions? Intel® Core™ i7 Processor 820QM/720QM : 1.73 GHz - 1.6 GHz, with Turbo Boost up to 3.06/2.8 GHz; Intel® Core™ i5 Processor 540M/520M/430M : 2.53 GHz - 2.26 GHz, with Turbo Boost up to 3.06/2.93/2.53 GHz All other specs is the same Mine I have order has i7 processor....

I looked at the ASUS Swedish site and the US site and it appears the i7 820qm is not available here. The 720qm is the highest rated that is available in the US. I will probably wait a month and look again. In the meantime, I would look forward to any photos you may post. Thanks, Bill
