Asus Notebook opinion

[6600gt]

what do you guys think of this model from Asus F3T-AP042C for the price of $1000 instead of spending $200-300 more on other brands with the same GPU.
I don't like notebooks with 17inch screens since they too heavy and large for me so pls don't recommend that

Some Specs of Asus F3T-AP042C:

Vista Premium
AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-56 1.8G
1GB DDR2 at 667 speed
GeForce Go 7600 Dedicated 256MB

Is this notebook with the Go 7600 256mb good for Counter-strike Source, Doom 3, FarCry, FEAR?

Thanks Guys

Seems decent. Only thing I do not like is that it is AMD in a laptop. Very hot and sucks down the power (less battery life).

If you can get it with a Intel chip it seems great.

Disclaimer: This is not another AMD vs. Intel Discussion. It is widely accepted that AMD chips in the laptops right now are hogs for power and put out a lot of heat compared to Centrino/Pentium M intel processors.

Agreed, I would try to find one with an Intel Core 2 Duo if you can. The power efficiency is great.

Go 7600/7700 is the best you can get for a 15.4", so it's a good card, but you can do better with a 17" (7900 GS and 7950 GTX), but for your price I think a 7600 would be awesome.

This is the laptop I would buy right now if nVidia 8M GPU's weren't coming out soon:

It's a little more $$$, but worth it.
