    Wow, they nearly copied the specs of Asus g73jh
    But the asus model is cheaper, lighter and has the 5870 graphics card. Parang mas maganda parin ang asus.

    You’re getting a top-notch machine.

    The price justifies the specs.

    Not like some Brand who blames it their popularity.

    speaking of Android, Sir Yuga yung Nexus One mo, na-upgrade na po ba sa Android 2.2? Worried lang kasi ako na baka pag bumili ako sa Greenhills eh 2.1 pa rin sya at di ko ma-upgrade sa 2.2 kasi dahil sa location natin kasi nasa Pinas tayo.. :(
