Perched on this thread from my only reliable source on the net - from fellow Pelican's.. gawk.

Anyhow, my terrific HP tablet PC burned up for good. Four mutha effen boards but still loved that little convertible with Win 7 Ultimate. So... after 3 years of heavy home and biz use, Best Buy refunded 100% of my purchase (by way of in store credit, not cash out), less the extended warranty. Pretty amazing considering it was well outdated but they had no alternative laptop to offer. Was considering another hybrid but never again do I want an HP product so then I spotted this:
Best Buy Latest Deals - JUL 08 - JUL 14 - Asus - 14" Laptop - 8GB Memory - 750GB Hard Drive - Aluminum Gray Hairline

Q's: Is Asus a reliable brand for laptops? Since my refund / credit has no expiration, should I wait for the OEM versions of Win 8?

Lastly, seems to be some confusion on this 2nd gen i7 2640m procc. It has a ? next to the listings and nobody from the store knows why. Is this quad core or 8 way?
I called Asus and although we talked, they didn't know and put me on hold for over a half hour to check it out! I gave up and dialed toned. The sales support seems weak. Here's where I was trying to get a clearification while on the phone:
ASUS - Notebooks- ASUS U47A

Thnx in advance - Scott
