    Gatormommy- Mine is the ASUS K42F-A2B. It's a 14-inch laptop. The battery lasts a solid 4 hours though I might buy a backup battery just to be safe. The only problem I have with it is the speakers...

    I got an ASUS last month and I LOVE it. I got mine from TigerDirect for an obscenely low price because it's a slightly older model (maybe a year or so). The only color available was a dark chocolate...
