The Asus g20 is a very high specced machine for this price range. The form factor is small and it's very easy to transport. The power supply takes up two outlets due to its design, but that's only a minor headache. This machine gets very hot if you let it run quietly, or very loudly if you want it to run at reasonable temps. Altogether it's a good machine. I would definitely recommend it, just keep these factors in mind.
