750Gb HDD
Full HD 1920x1080 screen
DVD-RW
Gigabit Ethernet and Wireless N
Couple USB2.0 and a USB3.0
Built in webcam and microphone
Bang & Olfsen ICEpower speakers.
Really nice system, pretty good battery life (4-5 hours in power saving mode), looks good, not too heavy.
Maybe one of the other laptops in the ASUS N series might be good for your needs.
