    if weight is not an issue here, would you guys consider f81se??

    Based on Asus website, specification for f81se graphic card is - ATI Mobility™ Radeon® HD 4570, 512MB VRAM FSB 667 MB Max as compared to f6Ve's ATI Mobility™ Radeon® HD 4570, External (Max. HM 1792 MB), FSB 1066 MB Max. <--- big difference over here??

    can someone explain :p

    My guess is that it's either a typo on the Asus website (often happens) or the F81Se GPU uses DDR2 video memory while the F6Ve GPU uses GDDR3 video memory. Either way, I'd call the seller to check with the actual GPU specs.
