i loved my s360.... IMHO it is the perfect laptop that blends power and portability along with the Asus W3V. you are not gonna find a better gpu or lcd screen in anything smaller than 15"... its just that i wanted MORE power and dont mind giving up some portability. the WXGA screen in particular was very limiting for my development work and getting WSXGA/WUXGA meant getting a 15" at minimum.


the 360 did get rather hot at times... but this can be fixed by using CHC (centrino hardware control) to ower the vcore and also applying AS5 on the heatsinks. other than that, it was the best in its class
