    For those whom have seen the S1, the Z1 looks alot sleeker and thinner in areas as well. It looks pretty awesome.

    That does look nice. I'm really not a fan of the "bump" that the Asus one sports for the sideshow.

    This one looks more like something I'd consider. But I still think a front-edge sideshow (like the Clevo M570U's LCD) would work better so that you could just peek into you bag/brief to catch a view of your auxiliary screen. It looks like the Toshiba Portage R400 has one of those front-edge-mounted LCDs.

    Hello there,

    do you guys know some good reviews of that notebook? I am eyeballing it for quite some time now, but there are 2 things that I don't like: the lacquer surface and the low battery time (3 hours and lower, according to LG), with no alternative battery packs available.
