Just updated with my Optimus III spec. What you guys reckon? Optimus III definitely looks $exy but I'd never heard of Optimus until MeAnBoY mentioned it. Anyone have any experience of them? Better choice out of the three?
 
Definitely leaning more towards the Optimus. How good will it be for the HD vid editing? Ill be using Pinnacle HD in the first instance with a view to upgrading to something better. Will the Optimus be able to handle this?
 
Ok, Ive tweaked my spec for the Optimus III. It still comes in cheaper than the Asus at a similar spec. Looks like I'll be leaving the nspire 2760 altogether but I'll keep it in the list as another reference point.
 
Been reading up on that review also but not sure if we're reading the same one. The review im reading is dated 25/05/12.
 
Ah man why did you have to tell me about that, I was all set with a decision to go with the Optimus!! :p
 
Think Im just going to stick with the Optimus because ill be getting the blu-ray burner, Seagate Hybrid HDD and money to buy a 22" IIYAMA screen within a reasonable budget.

If I go for the G55VW, all the extras I want as per above will probably push the price into the £1000-£1200 range which isnt really feasible. Ill probably kick myself later but.... meh
