Asus W5A laptop

The sexy, aluminum-finish W5A comes with built-in WiFi, Bluetooth, 1.3 megapixel webcame, USB 2.0, SD/MMC/MS-Pro slots, and CD-RW/DVD Optical drive among others. An excellent mobile workhorse for office work, those who are involved in graphics applications will suffer from a performance hit, mainly due to the 4200RPM HDD and the lack of a real 3D graphics chip. Overall at $1599.00, the W5A is a good value no matter which aspect you come from. See specs after the jump.
