Should I get an Asus a716 or wait for a newer one...

[Jonh]

I just bought an Asus A620 in December but i'm tempted to get the Asus A716... But a few things say I should wait for a newer one...

1. The A716 has the exact same performance as the A620.
The only reason I like the A716 is the built in Wifi and great battery life...

2. I heard most of the Newer PPC will have graphic chips in them and a newer OS 2004?

Does the extra feature really warrent another $450 or should i save it for a newer and better PPC???Also how long will the newer PPC take to get here?

Well I am not saying you should or shouldn't wait. But I wouldn't want to hold out for a device with a graphics chip in it, as I belive its still about a year away.

I would say this.....

The difference in price from the 716 to the a620BT do warrant the price, easily..... especially when you consider the price of an asus wifi card.... You've got to go on asus' car because of the range and ease of use....

Other than that, you've got an extra memory card slot, which if that doesn't draw over hp users, i don't know what will......

The battery life is more than double what I even thought realistic...... and even that would have been great........ It almost makes the double capacity battery a little not needed... I'm curious how many of those we're going to sell... I bet only a few to those who crave 26 hours (or probably people who are flying around the world twice and need to watch 10 movies in a row on one battery charge.)
