2.4Ghz Dual Core (not C2D) with 4gb ram and Geoforce 7100, nice.

In a recent survey, Square Trade (they sell extended equipment warranties) found that Toshiba and ASUS laptops had the fewest warranty service claims during the first three years of ownership, beating makers like Sony, Apple, Dell, and Lenovo. HP laptops were dead last in the review

Reliability Study

Netbooks costing less than $400 also fared badly, with 5.8 per cent reporting a malfunction over a one-year period. Excluding failures from accidents, they were also 20 per cent more likely to fail than entry level laptops.

“Given the high failure rates of laptops and sizeable difference in reliability by brand, reliability should be a concern for consumers shopping around for the best holiday deals,” the SquareTrade report said.
