Z70va Arrives Today

Arriving from ProPortable today. My first laptop. Wish me luck!

 

Congrats, you'll love her

 

Yes, congrats indeed! Definitely a lovely machine...

 

I'm sure you'll love it!

 

i ordered mine on wednesday from proportable, cant wait for mine. hope you enjoy it!

pb,out.

 

Well guess who is tying this message on their notebook?

I'm very pleased. I'm forcing myself to use the touch pad. I so miss my mouse right now.

A couple of months ago we set up a wireless network at the house so my kids could all use their laptops simutaneously when they come home. Took me about 1 minute to configue my Z70va and now I'm surf'ing wirelessly. Got to love the 21st century.

After I ordered my machine I started reading all the posts about red ghosting and creaky palmrests. Needless worrying so far.

I was also concerned about the font size given my elderly eyes. But the display is crystal clear and I've got no problems reading text.

I'm very pleased.

 

hows the keyboard? any flex? if you pound on it and press hard

 

I don't see any noticable flex but I'm sure you'll understand if I don't go pounding on my new $2k notebook.

Loaded DVD software and checked that out. No problems.

Based on other theads, I'm going to setup a C: and D: drives. All I have is C: now.

 

i undertstand mate, i just got my z83v today and im typing on it. you have the same video card as me right? did you figure out how to bring the video settings to life? any ati tweaking software?

yours being carbon fibre probably explains it.

 

sexybest. why do you keep thinking you have to change the video settings to bring it to life. I have own many asus and the default settings are pretty clost to the best for the screen. maybe a tweak here and there. i had a z70v and it has a great screen right out of the box.

 

i guess i just prefer super bright screens.

on nvidia cards, you can adjust what they call digital vibrance, makes your lcd look like a cartoon and brings it to life.

 

Oh man you're in for a treat~!

You're going to love your machine.

Just treat her right. Also, tell me which way your sticker is positioned. The one on the lid.

Cheers,
Mike

 

i got my z70va on monday my hands wear violently shakeing when i saw the ups guy i could barely sign my name so i know how it fells have fun.

and shampoo my sticker is placed so that when u close it it faces u, to others looking at u its upside down '

 

You mean the "Built on Asus" sticker? With the lid closed (hinge to the back), it's located to the bottom and is "right side up". HTH

 

dont pound on your keys.

 

The Z70Va...what a beauty!! Hope you have lots of fun with it

 

after pondering, contemplating, debating between the looks and performance of the mighty Z70Va with the dull dual core models....i decided there is nothing that is goin to replace the Z70va.....so i ordered it today......

am i right....i should be right.....

 

yeah my sticker is the same way, hrmmm

 

I think i positioned the sticker on right. is it supposed to be right side up when the lid is open?

 

I'm anxiously waiting for the other shoe to drop....

 

Mine is upside down for me but right side up for the others. >_<. It's for show, i guess. 0_o

 

that how it should be, right side up for them.

 

Yup, that's the way it's supposed to be, supposedly.

Thing is why didn't they put that stupid writing the same way then? The Mulitimedia something or other in the top right when the lid is closed?

Stupid Asus.

 

Does this mean I have to send it back?

 

That multimedia gateway part is too small for the other to see anyway.

 

bleh, I guess you're right aphirat.

I kinda like it the way it is, so I'm going to leave it.

Wait, I wonder how the stickers are positioned on the Ensemble versions of the Z70Va, being the M6Va how are the stickers positioned on them?
