    Nice. That review was a little too brief. Even less informative than a CNET review.

    I smell bias. I don't see how this laptop gets a better performance score, when it has a 540m and weighs about just as much: Asus N53SV Review - PCWorld

    This laptop has a 460M which should run circles around the 540M so a better performance score isn't surprising. Having said that, I think this is the only review I've seen where they actually liked the keyboard on this model.

    yeh I know, but they said they rated the opposite way around. vice versa.

    Oops sorry, my misunderstanding. Yeah it's weird as the NP8130 should be rated much higher in performance then that Asus model.

    It sounds like they like the looks, the weight, the bluetooth, and the bundled software in the Asus over the Clevo (which is surprising because I hate bundled software). Overall... I'd give the PC World review site a 6/10 (because they gave the Clevo an 8/10 which to me means they have some good criteria, but they're still a failure when it comes to seeing a good bang for your buck great-quality notebook).
