Advantages: Slimline, BEAUTIFUL, great screen
Disadvantages: Terrible support service, fan runs high, weak case

...I have an earlier version of the ASUS V6J (the V6V), and it is truly a beautiful thing. It is fast, has a great screen, everything works beautifully. The fan does start up quite quickly after use and can be very hot - this can be an issue if you use your laptop on your lap a lot. The chassis is a lovely brushed metal and it has a great shape, but it is not very robust if dropped. The biggest issue is their repair centre and if I had known then what I know now I definitely wouldn't have bought this laptop. Here's my story and you can judge for yourself... I dropped my laptop about 3 months ago and it broke the hinge. Definitely my fault but I needed to get it repaired because the wires were exposed. The ASUS repair centre is an outsourced repair company and I have been told that they are not allowed to keep any parts on site... Read review

...rust what so ever! ALFA ROMEO 146 The Alfa 146 was launched in the UK in early 1995; with the introduction of the flat-four cylinder “Boxer” engined cars, which have the most glorious roar from that sweet purring engine. My first car was a Boxer 8v 146. These were the first batch of 145’s and 146’s with limited engine sizes and power. The fascinating thing about 'Boxer' engines is that they sounded glorious, even when not revved! Later on in 1996/97 Alfa Romeo developed the latest generation of twin spark 16-valve engines in 1.6, 1.8 and a special sports 2.0L version called the “Ti”. The same twin spark engines were first used in the larger Alfa 155’s that some of you might be familiar with. I will call twin-spark (ts) for short. These were vastly improved engines and were more efficient, for example a 1.6 Boxer produced only 103bhp... Read review

Advantages: Peachy, 100 Round the Bends, Angela
Disadvantages: Warm Whispers

...heavily on the soundtracks of One Tree Hill, Smallville and Grey's Anatomy among others. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=6v9H-NmqxY 2. 100 Round The Bends (2:58) This is a more up tempo number, almost jangily in places. It is slightly reminiscent of Tracy Chapman's track "Fast Car" to my mind, anyway. "So jump in my car we'll go 100 round the bends And we'll pretend that feeling rage is feeling real" I think this is a real feel-good, driving track, with very catchy lyrics. You'll find yourself singing along in no time… http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ff-xcIU8VM 3. Steer (3:50) Beginning with tuneful strumming on the acoustic guitar, this is a song which gradually builds through the first verse. It seems to be about self-empowerment, realising that you can yourself influence the direction that your life... Read review
