Here are my reasons:
- Though I wanted the Express Card slot for my Broadband Wireless card, I have found that I can an unlocked USB version for under $100 on eBay (no need to extend my contract or pay $100-$250), I just need to move the SIM card to the new unit. That will save me money over the price of the HP and still keep it compatible with my current laptop.
- The Asus has a higher screen resolution than the HP.
- I'm very curious about the "multi-touch" trackpad.
- Longer battery life without having to spend more money to upgrade the battery.
On the whole, I can get more bang for my buck with the Asus. It looks like I'll be purchasing the blue one, though I wish the colors I see available on Asus website were available. |
AWESOME!! I was going to get the blue one also, but have you seen the skins available at decalgirl.com for the Asus?

As beautiful as the blue one is, it looks like such a fingerprint magnet......but I might get it anyway!
