I have been looking at this laptop, it looks really nice and all but i cant really find any decent reviews of it:eek: i found one but thats all. I saw the photos on the customize page but does any one here own one and could give me a rundown of it? such as battery life, durability and how he keyboard is and etc?
And another thing, i know i am asking for the impossible but is there something similar in price, features and whatever to the force in the 14" size? i have no clue how portable the 15" is but i heard it is clunky to carry around still?
Thanks:smile2:

If you go to a 14 you will lose the FHD display. The closest 14" I would say is the N43JF-A1. When I configure the two as close as possible. Force needs CPU, RAM and HDD upgrade to match the Asus. Force is about $40 cheaper.
Size difference only about a 1/2 pound.

Thanks for the quick reply
how much of a difference is FHD from HD? i am sorta clueless when it comes on to those screen related quality stuff..
and on the side note how comes its so cheap to add a I5 560M in the force and cost almost 3x in any other model? i really like the 560M in the force lol
and i dont really mind the weight, but the size as in width and length, is it hard to carry around? it is almost similar in dimensions to my 17" widescreen laptop and only lighter by about a pound or so i think.

On a 14" screen FHD would be a bit much. I would like HD+ (if I must use 16:9). FHD vs HD is not about quality. It is about resolution. If watching a movie on a notebook I don't think 1080 or 720 matters much. Consider in US sports are broadcast in 720p. OK now with non video. At default settings you will see more on the screen with out scrolling with higher resolution. So things are smaller. For some this can be a problem for others with good vision this is nice.
Asus and MSI charge a lot for CPU upgrades. Force and Sager not so much. Asus and MSI while they can upgrade are not set up to do. They really want to sell pre config units.
