    ASUSTeK W1 Carbon Fibre notebook

    There's no denying that the ASUSTek W1 Carbon is a beautifully constructed laptop with pleasing aesthetics from any angle. The carbon lid and brushed aluminium chassis make it one of the best-looking notebooks around. ASUS kits out this model with an integrated digital TV-tuner/FM card, an excellent LCD and generous bundle.

    So...pretty, but overpriced and underpowered. Can't see this one tempting me to switch to Asus.

    A few of the pages have anchor issues where the tag runs on, not closing off what it should.

    Page 3 for example, at the very bottom. </a> not <a/> !
    MOLLY AND POPPY!

    yep, that is kind of annoying. Also, is it really that shiny in real life? or is it just the flash that screwed it? I never get why people always use such a big weave when they want to say things are carbon fibre. It looks so much better finer, and it doesnt have that horrible glue soaked jeans texture.

    There's also a little mistake on the second page in relation to the resolution of the panel:

    Screen 15.4" WSXGA+ (16800x1050) - ZBT TFT
    I think there's an extra 0 in the horizontal resolution!
