    Okay, so I've been searching for a laptop recently and I've decided my laptop has to be an asus. I'll be doing some gaming (i.e COD4) on my laptop as well as school work. I've taken a look at the Dell XPS but I trust Asus a lot more than dell.

    My budget is roughly $1300 aight...So I have two in mind,

    Both C1 and B1 look exactly the same, I don't care much about looks really lol.

    ASUS F8Sn-B1 - $1,146.04
    Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 (2.10GHz)
    14.1" WXGA (1280x800) Display
    3GB DDR2 Memory, 250GB Hard Drive
    DVD Super Multi Drive
    Nvidia GeForce 9500M GS
    Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium

    ASUS F8Sn-C1 - $1,397.04
    Intel Core 2 Duo T9300 (2.50GHz)
    14.1" WXGA+ (1440x900) Display
    3GB DDR2 Memory, 320GB Hard Drive
    DVD Super Multi Drive
    Nvidia GeForce 9500M GS
    Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium

    ASUS 360 Notebook Service Program:

    0 - 30 days Zero Bright Dot Guaranty LCD replacement (ZBD)
    2 - Free 2-way Overnight Shipping for warranty related services

    One Year Accidental Damage Warranty (ADW): Click to register

    Global Service Locations: More info

    I can't decide which to get. Both are exactly the same except C1 has 0.4GHZ more and 120GB more than the B1 and the cost difference is ~$250.

    Any ways, I was hoping you guys could help me on deciding which one to get, either B1 or C1, please let me know if you know any other sites that have better deals, and ships to Canada lol. Thanks in advance.

    none, if your into gaming, i would say go with a Gateway FX model for laptop.. but that is only if you don't mind being a 17" laptop lol... i guess 9500m is okay.. not really recommend for gaming for sure.. especially due to the Nvidia 8 series being faulty, overheating laptops.

    they seem ok...but i'd get an xps over than just for the fact that the Dell warranty is better. I don't want to buy another laptop with just a 1 yr warranty every again. besides dell are always having sales for all of their systems
