Yes!
You read it right!
After let me see, hmmm..20 days of asking for it.
I finally got it!
My mom and i met up in SM and we were still searching for a laptop when she finally said: Let's go buy that Asus!
I was like: weeee! thank you thank you thank you!
And i got it the day before the my chem concert which makes me feel a whole lot better. Not that this is better than a mychem concert but this makes me feel a lot less guilty for not going at all.
Oh well, enough with all the small talks.
Let me introduce:
Asus A8He
I couldn't find any review on this on cnet.com but here's one on notebookreview.com
Specs:
-it offers a very respectable array of features that I believe are quite difficult to beat:
- connectivity: GB Ethernet, Wireless Ethernet, Bluetooth
- webcam (0.3MP), Express Card extension slot, 5in1 card reader, S-Video out
- 14" and 2.7kg weight including 6-cell battery (approximately 3kg including the adapter, mouse, and cables)
- 2 years global warranty
- a large HDD
- Windows Vista Business in one of 5 or 6 languages (in my case it's an XP, yes!)
- included carrying case and mouse
At least as importantly, the build quality seems solid, and the looks are not that bad, either.

Conclusion
In order not to repeat the summary, I will mainly give a list of pros and cons.
Pros:- more than decent build quality
- many features and ports for a notebook in this price range
- battery life good when compared to other ASUS notebooks of nowadays (even in absolute terms 2:40 in Vista on a 6cell is not so bad)
- tough to find another 14" in this price range
- 2 year global warranty by default
Cons:
- Silver paint will wear off and show scratches, especially on the touchpad
- Short wall-side power cable (going from adapter to the wall socket)
