Question:
Asus Z70VA Photo Documentary (LOTS OF PICS)
Hey all, I got my lappy yesterday (as found in my other post) and figured I'd make a photo documentary of me setting it up, etc... Here we go...

WOO the box arrives. It was rescheduled for the next day so it was kind of a surprise. There was a big dent in the box though that had me a bit worried (towards the right)
full pic
Contents of the outer box... anyone notice how small the bubble wrap is? WTF is that supposed to protect? :p
full pic
Closer pic of the case and what I found in the case (not included: silicone gel packs)

Hmmm... which one contains the laptop? It's a mini-lottery!
full pic
Oops... I cheated, bah oh well... I was so close to just ripping everything open.

Just opening the accessory box.

oooOooOooOOoOO... Pretty :o
full pic
Just a little peek.
full pic
The first full look of my new baby!
full pic
All the included accessories... Why is there 3 G2P cards? Did they think I would forget who I bought it from?
full pic
Pic of the bottom w/ the battery installed... What's that hiding there? It's another G2P card! I guess it's just in case the z70va wants to know where it came from... since it was adopted.
full pic
Left side of the laptop...yeah
full pic
The back of the lappy... lot's o connections that I won't be using
full pic
Right side of the laptop... pretty DVDRW +/-
full pic
First time booting up the system... At this point I almost regret not putting another $80 into it so I could use it out of box.... soooo impatient
full pic
Formatting the HD, nice blue color :)
full pic
Very Nice!
full pic
Touchpad... looks like lots of dust but there's nothing on the actual unit... weird.
full pic
x700...nuff said
full pic
Little blurry, but still pretty :)
full pic
Quick launch buttons... n..ice
full pic
Umm... keyboard. I wonder what this will look like in a couple of months?
full pic
It's almost... poetic
full pic
Desktop after I've loaded all the drivers and some software. Can anyone else figure out what the hell my background is? I still can't figure it out...
full pic
Side view of the desktop, quality of camera isn't great but the screen sure is. It almost looks glossy in person, I can see a reflection off the side. It's PERFECT. I was worried about it being 'too' matted, but I have not 1 complaint (except maybe I'd like it a TOUCH brighter).

Dual browsing. Not new to me since I have a 2005FPW, but it's still nice :) NBR and my portfolio (http://www.jsupnick.com)

A closer look at my portfolio

Just checking out how CS:S looks. There's no way in hell I'm going to try playing w/ a touch pad.
full pic
Nipple F***!!!
full pic
Multi-tasking... Dream Theater kicks ass
full pic
My desktop setup as of late. My 2005FPW has much different colors than the z70va. I fixed it a little but it's still lighter.

My Dell 2005FPW setup

Again... my lappy setup
Well, if you looked at all the pics... you have no life... But who am I to say that when I am the one who created this? Eh? Anyways hopefully this provides some entertainment to some people, if you didn't like it then you are probably just jealous because you don't have this laptop :)

Sweeeeeeetness, I love my baby too.
Did you get the bluetooth version? Any creaking on the right palmrest?
Your screen looks exceptionally good. Maybe you got a good one, my replacement panel looks great, but I think yours may be slightly better. Of course hard to tell through pictures.
Cheers,
mike

Re: Asus Z70VA Photo Documentary (LOTS OF PICS)
I did not get the bluetooth version (though I'm unsure why the BT light is on...weird). I heard creaking ONCE in the palmrest, but that was while putting about 10-20lbs of pressure on it. I've tried it since (carefully of course) and barely hear any creaking. I'm not sure exactly how much your are creaking, because this does not bother me at all... I'm not picky about that stuff unless it is REALLY BAD, only real thing I'm picky about is obvious stuff and that is in no way obvious.

Great pics, and greatly appreciated that you took the time to take them and post them. The Z70va will be greatly missed when the stock from its EoL is gone. :(
Make sure to keep us updated over the next few days with any new impressions, etc.
