Asus Laptop....DEAD.

That is true about the Win 7 upgrade. I think it was £27 or something. And you have to go through loads of steps online to verify you are the owner of the laptop and visit a company's site outside of HP to order the upgrade disc and pay the cost.

A bit annoying, but it is still cheaper than buying a full commercial Win 7 upgrade.

True it is still an ok deal and i think there are some hardware companys that are charging more. I just feel the whole win 7 upgrade has been a bit misleading i still dont fully understand the process, but i think im going to bite the bullet and pay the £27 quid. Oh i also forgot to mention in my first thread if battrery life is important regards to purchasing laptop the compaq one that ive got only has two hours life wich i think us a bit poor but i only run i of the mains.

These laptops are meant to be desktop replacements though so battery life is never going to be brilliant. Best battery life is the current wave of Atom powered networks, but with small screens and relatively slow CPUs they are only good for internet, email and light office use really.
