Mixed feeling about Asus UL50VT, ultrathin, lightweight

but buggy, firefox will shut down with no good reason. The keyboard is finicky. Biggest beef is the wireless connection. The atheros 9285 has serious hand shake problem with my 2wire wirless router. Either no connection or disconnection, frequent drop-off, a true pain on the butt. It seems that you need to turn the power management to high to avoid frequent drop-offs, but then it kills the battery life. Still cannot find a fix.
