This Asus laptop computer is a great value in mobile computing. Its bright, 11.6-inch HD resolution screen showcases movies and games in brilliant color. Its 320GB hard drive has plenty of room for your music, photos, videos, documents, and more. The Wifi 802.11b/g/n lets you connect wirelessly at home and in coffee shops, airports and offices around the world. With its 4GB of memory and Intel® Intel® Celeron® dual-core processor, the laptop excels at basic office computing, entertainment and Internet browsing experiences. Plus, the built-in webcam and microphone makes it easy to video chat with family and friends. And an HDMI port lets you connect to an HD monitor, TV or projector. With a multiformat media card reader, USB 3.0, and a 3-cell battery for hours of use away from an outlet, this ultra-portable laptop is a good value for everyday mobile computing.



The CPU is probably the one component that will make most buyers hesitant. But with a Passmark Score of 1464 its similar to Core 2 Duo and some current generation mobile core i3 CPU. Supports VT-x, so you could even run VMware workstation on it. Graphics is the integrated Ivy Bridge Intel HD 2500. Supports DirectX 11, Shader version 5.0 and openGL version up to 4.0. According to benchmark sites, today's games can be played at the lowest settings smoothly. Has a 3DMark score of 340, compared to a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650's 2860 - well this low end gaming card itself costs $105, when this whole laptop cost me $199. I don't play any games, but this isn't a gamer's laptop anyway. HD Videos played fine without any lags. Streaming media also worked without any problems. The touch screen is very responsive which really surprised me. I was expecting something sluggish. I found the keyboard to be very responsive, the touchpad on the other hand I was not too thrilled about - no problems, but the surface kind of feels funny, it doesn't feel like your typical laptop touchpad. I have not tested the HDMI out, since I will never use it. I didn't notice any heating problems while using it.
