Asus Z71V Laptop Any Good?

[artemicion]

I'm looking for a good deal on a decent laptop and came across a site called www.powernotebooks.com that sells the Asus Z71V (renamed "PowerPro 2:21") for what looks like a decent price. Does anybody have any experience with these laptops or this company (I heard that the Sagers that they sell are awful)? It's either this or Dell, since I can't pay the premium for something like a thinkpad, just looking for performance/price.

The Z71V is a great notebook.

A buddy of mine is buying the ODM version of the Z71V, which is made by Chembook, from a place called Discount Laptops. He's getting a pretty good IIRC. Lemme know if you want the direct URL

I agree! ISTNC is great. They have awesome customer service! I ordered Tuesday night and got the laptop Saturday afternoon. Got a 1.86 60gb and 512mb for 1400 after student discount. Great prices.
