I would get one high level card vs two lower cards. It will open the door up to upgrades down the road, so you can get a second one when you need it. Just make sure there's room on your motherboard for two cards and they will get enough air flow. If your planning on water cooling why not get...

Thanks for all for your advice, it has really helped me decide, I just picked up a Zenbook. I decided the series 9 wasn't worth the extra $200, and that now wasn't the right time to try out OSX. Thanks for all your help, i really appreciate it.

You cant just stick another stick of ram in these laptops, they only have one slot and its probably a custom stick soldered on to the motherboard. The Zenbook comes with a 2 year warranty, and the series 9 and Air both have a 1 year.

I need a Laptop in the next week or two, so I can't wait for the Transformer, and thats a tablet anyways so it wont be able to do what I want. The Zenbook runs for about $999, the series 9 $1250 and the Air is $1200 all base prices. With the air i can upgrade to *GB ram for $100 which might be...

I would like to try OSX at some point, but I would like to keep this computer until I graduate, and I don't want to be stuck with an OS I don't like for so long. The Air has the exact same specs as the windows laptops, except it has the worst screen out of thee three, but its still pretty good.

If I could upgrade it, it would make my decision much easier, but the series 9 and the Zenbook both use a special type of ssd, so you cant just put any2.5in drive in it. I do like both laptops, the Zenbook is more price effective, and it is available for a GB drive, plus has a better screen. But...

All three of these computers have gotten good reviews and are very good machines, I just cant decide which one is best for me. One of the main reasons I want an Ultrabook is that they have most of the power of a regular laptop but are still extremely portable. I do have fairly small hands and...

I'm going to be going off to college next month and I have decided on getting a new ultrabook. The problem is I can't decide on the best one. I will mainly be using it for basic stuff like web browsing and note taking, maybe a little light gaming, but I have a desktop for anything major. I...

OK, thanks, Ill probably go with the DX, its not to expensive and it's PCIe

all three, lots of music, some gaming and movies

So would upgrading to the xonar dx be worth the $70 over motherboard sound, and would it really be that big of a difference?

My speakers have a headphone out in the volume control so I can plug my headphones in there. It has to be a pcie, that is all I have open

What about the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium, or is that overkill as well? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Creative+-+Sound+Blaster+X-Fi+Titanium+Sound+Card/9716175.p?id=1218172864730&skuId=9716175
