Question:
Asus Z84J 17" barebone. I'm planning to buy one.
I'm spending hours to research which is right for a replacement of E1705. I went to many manufacturers and decide to choose Asus.
My budget is about 1600$
The Z84J has some special features that I think will be useful for me. Especially the ports available there which is HDMI and E-SATA. There is also bluetooth build-in.
Despite the fact that Gefore 7600 512mb is a littlebit " out dated" but it's fine for me. I don't game much. Mostly I play counterstrike Source,and other new shooting games.
So here is the specs that would reach 1600$ in my budget.
-z84J : $949 (include: DVD+RW, Bluetooth, GF 7600, 17" SXGA+)
-1GB ram: $100
-Core 2 Duo 2.0ghz : $320
-160GB HDD: 135$
-Wireless: I have a spare atheros card
-2 year warranty: 60$ ( i'm still considering purchase this, i don't know if it's worth it.
-TOtal is around 1600$ Shipping fees didn't count yet.
Does anybody own this Z84J? I would like some more pictures of the actual computer than the one on the poster.

Just poppin other options, such as the HP dv9000 should also be considered.
But it's nice to see you're doing good research :)

I already looked through HP, did the same config , the price is up to nearly 1700$. Eventhough they offer Vista and free TV turners,and other features. I would stick with the Asus.

the g2 beats the pants off this and is closely related.
Im sure you can find it for 1800 with 2 gb
ok the screen resolution is lower but the screen is brighter. im not exactly sure which screen is better that would be the major difference

It's so hard to decide between G2 and the otherone.. i'll take more time to think of this.

if i remember correctly, the z84j isn't available yet, so you probably won't get much feedback from owners....

Right, The only thing that bug me is Rjtech.com has it in stock. It's really weird. I emailed them to ask exactly if they actually have it or not. I'm waiting for the reply email.
