Asus V2Je NotebookReviewed

NotebookReview has a review on the Asus V2Je notebook PC. The Asus V2Je is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 2GHz processor, 1GB DDR2 RAM, 120GB hard drive and ATI Mobility Radeon X1450 256MB graphic card.

The Asus V2Je offers  a 8x Super Multi DVD Burner, WiFi 802.11 a/b/g, a 1.3 Megapixel webcam, and a 6-in-1 Card Reader (MMC/SD/Mini-SD/XD/Memory Stick/MS Pro).

Conclusion from NotebookReview:

The Asus V2JE is a great notebook and it was a pleasure to use. The price is $1,800 USD and I find it to fit that price well for a business notebook. It offers so many features and flexibility. The overall design and quality is good, I would feel confident in using this notebook daily for school or work and even some graphic demanding tasks.

When comparing this notebook to other business marketed notebooks as mentioned above, I find this notebook to be amongst the top 3 contenders in this market. If you’re looking for a laptop that can pretty much do it all in such a nice little package this is one beautiful laptop do so.

Pros:

* Screen <- Good horizontal, decent brightness, and contrast
* Graphics <- X1450 256mb in such a small package
* Performance <- The overall performance was good
* Touchpad <-Textured feel, worked well right away, with vertical and horizontal scroll
* Build Quality <- Good build quality all around
* Heat & Noise <- there is a regular amount of heat and little noise
* Battery Life <- 6 cells is 2 hours and 9 cell is 3 hours 30 minutes
* Ports <- great layout of ports and variety of ports
* Freebies <- Asus Bag and Wireless Mouse
* Weight & Dimensions <- The weight is decent, and has nice dimensions
* Features <- Webcam, Spill proof keyboard, docking station (optional), future models available with 3.5G
* Latch Design <- The V2JE has a no latch design

Cons:

* Lid Flex <- The lid flexes in certain spots (most notebooks do)
* Multi-bay <- We all expected a Multi-bay and Asus did not provide one
* Keyboard <- considerable amount of flex
* Heat <- The warmth is felt on the left side (depends on location of the vent)
* Screen <- Satisfactory vertical view angles and the glossy screen exhibits reflections
* Battery Life <- With the 6 cell battery, I feel that 2 hours is not enough (Use 9 cell)
* Bloatware <- Most brands have a lot, Asus does have a small amount, but I still prefer a clean installation of Windows XP or Vista
