Asus z71v
Description: A mid-level gaming laptop, supporting the single core 400/533Mhz Pentium M, sporting an nVidia 6600 Go, a SATA/PATA hard drive, and 2 DDR2 DIMMs. The FSB can be changed from 400 to 533 with a jumper on the motherboard, allowing for easy overclocking of the 1.6 and 1.7 Ghz 400Mhz FSB 2MB Pentium M chips to over 2.13 Ghz with a success rate in the high 90% range.
Hardware Notes: Native linux drivers exist for all hardware except the internal card reader and the win modem.
