Deal of the Week

The Labor Day holiday is quickly approaching in the US and that means last minute deals for students looking for a PC before the school year. One of the big problems with computers for college bound students is finding one with enough power to last more than a year or two. This is why budget systems that are constantly advertised may not be the best choice. Thankfully, Best Buy has decided to carry the ASUS G1S-X1 notebook PC for $1599.00. This may seem like a lot of money, but this system is packed with features and performance that make it great as a school system or even a notebook PC for the office or home.

In fact, the ASUS G1 was named one of my top picks for the thin and light notebook category. The ASUS G1 that I reviewed was configured a bit differently. The Best Buy model has a newer GeForce 8600 graphics processor and a faster Intel Core 2 Duo T7300 porocessor. But it uses the same chassis and overall base design.
