just pulled the trigger, ordered it they had two left in stock I pick it up tomorrow morning in the Vancouver store. It comes with a 2 yr warranty. + I get one more because of my visa. Now I am excited. Thanks for all the help. I'll be sticking around to give my review and also getting tips on maximizing it's potential. After doing serious research for 2 weeks I feel very confident in this product and it will be light years ahead of my Hp Dv6618 gotto love technology upgrades

Hey if any of you N61 people could help out there is a guy over on the N71 thread that is wondering if there is a Raid option in the bios......I looked on my N71 and there was no option for raid but a N61 guy said in his bios there was a raid option so was wondering if a few of you could look and let us know.

In the bios there should be a Sata section and once you hit enter it brings up 2-3 options.....AHCI, IDE, and possibly RAID.

Can anyone verify if theirs has RAID as an option in that menu?

So can anybody from the N61JQ owners confirm if there is a RAID option in the bios?

Congrats jbwolf! Are you getting the paste? If this is the W. Broadway store, who did you deal with? When you pick up remember Olympic parking restrictions.
Cheers

I know I already posted this in the N71JQ forum but I have all three options, which includes RAID. Can someone else with the N61JQ confirm theres as well. It's under Advanced > Got to the SATA Option then hit enter > Then click enter button again to bring up the menu. You should see IDE, AHCI (default), RAID.

Well, I received mine today. I haven't played with it too much but, the speakers are a little better then average. The screen is my biggest disappointment but a minor one. Understand that I have had 12" 1280x800 screens and 15" 1440x900 screens and 17" 1920x1280 screens. I knew that 16" 1366x768 could look a little different and, it does. Things are just not as crisp on the display then the others I have owned. I do believe that the edge-to-edge plastic covering over the screen also plays a part in that and it is something that I like.

All in all, so far it seems very nice. I am heading from work and heading home soon. Lets see how it looks at home... when I am relaxed!

Hi,
I`ve been trying to find a N62jq but without any luck.
If anyone here still has an idea where I could find one in stock, please tell me, I want to start working on high res. stuff an my old samsung is dying on me.

I would be also OK with buying a somewhat slower model, i5 or similar.
any tip would be great as I`m overwhelmed by the asus models.

oh, i`m in montreal right now if that helps.

Actually I was also first looking into N61JQ. Two main things which made me go for the bigger brother N71JQ were the screen and the two hard disks.

@svga
Gentech PC seems to still have them.

hei turbogear, jeder tip waere hilfreich

ich dachte das ein "schlechteres" model unter umstaenden eher auf lager ist.
