I've got this new laptop to substitute my old Toshiba with a dead battery. As my previous one, my main requests were: (1.) good screen brightness and not too small, as I use it for prolonged times, (2.) as light as possible, as I carry it around very often, (3.) good battery, for the same reason, (4.) good processor with good memory, as nobody deserves a slow computer.
This Asus Aspire 4810T has it all and is not as pricey as a Sony Vaio, whose few extra advantages did not convince me to spend almost double.
The only problem, and very bad problem, I've been facing in this first month of use is Windows Vista Home Edition. I've got Vista on my work laptop and it's no problem, but on this one it crashes incredibly often. I'm putting my hopes on Windows 7, as it can't get worse, otherwise next time I might surrender to a Mac.
