Asus u36sd, u46sv or MSI x460dx. None of them are specifically designed for gaming, but they definitely fit the other things you described.
I'm checking this thread several times per day hoping to find an answer for the problem. While waiting for community insights, I decided to...
You'll lose value, increase the time required to sell it, plus the cost of the stickers. Happy modding!
Internal batteries. Thank Apple for that one. It might not be a trend, but front facing ports also bother me. Nothing worse than using a laptop...
It really depends on what you'll be using it for. In a business setting, Alienware is kind of inappropriate, even if it might be considered...
I was thinking it might be helpful to categorize the "what notebook to buy" section with some broadly defined computer types. For example:...
I just got my Asus u36sd for almost the exact same reasons as you. If you can live without an optical drive (or an external one) and don't mind...
It might be appropriate to post this in the Hardware Components and Aftermarket Upgrades section as it may not be a brand specific issue. I've...

The u400 is virtually identical to the original two except for two major disadvantages: 1) 4 cell in-case battery. Short duration and cannot...
You realize both the u46sv and x460dx have the same screen resolutions as the u36sd. You'll still have the same on-screen real-estate for...
I just looked at my system information (u36sd-dh51) and it looks like I have an Atheros AR9002WB-1NG Wireless Network Adapter. I assume you...
An external optical drive fits quite easily in most laptop bags. Plus you can take it out when you don't need it. Optical drives are going the...
13.3" is the perfect balance between portability and functionality IMO. It's large enough to fit a full size keyboard and the screen is big...
$5000 :eek: Have you considered buying multiple laptops for your various needs? PS: Tax the rich :p
Or, if you can deal with a gt520m and no optical drive, grab the u36sd like I did :cool: Note: Both the u46sv and MSI x460dx were on my short...
