The C90 ^^ Thats the biggest reason I opted for the c90 over the G12 was the price break.

u get what u paid for. Asus G1S is obviously better built than IFL90. The differenc is only about $100-200. Another option u can consider is the new macbook pro, with student discount, the price is $1799 USD (about $100 cheaper but better built) and a free nano!
If u care less about battery life or putting the laptop on ur lap. Get the Asus C90s. It should beat the performance of the G1s while costing $400-500 less than G1s

I don't know about the 400-500 savings form a C90s, but it will definitely be cheaper and more powerful, although battery life will be crap.

How do you substantiate that claim?
It is well known that ASUS Ensemble models are just priced higher than other comparable models.
The PowerPro J 10:15 (Compal IFL90) also has the nVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT w/512MB on-die memory (no Turbocache to slow you down) and several other features that the G1S does not. For example:
1GB Intel® Turbo Memory (Robson)
Fingerprint Reader
3 Year Warranty w/Next Business Day Shipping paid both ways...standard.
Now, the G1S had an HDMI port while the PowerPro J 10:15 (Compal IFL90) only has VGA out, but they are really very comparable except for the warranty and the price.

Re: Cheaper Alternative to G1S?
One more advantage to the G1S is the eSATA port, but if you are on a budget, then probably the IFL90 is your best bet.

the guy obviously doesn't know what he's talking about, he's a tool. he doesn't know the company Compal or Clevo and he just thinks their laptops are garbage compared to other known brands like Asus. people who bash stuff that is not even out yet like the IFL90, stuff that you the reatilers don't even have, really pisses me off, in another post another guy is bashing not only the quality of the Compal but get this... the screen! IS NOT EVEN OUT YET!!! WHAT THE **** DO YOU KNOW!!!?
