Asus X83VB-X2

Dedicated graphics chip in a budget laptop ; 4GB of RAM

Unreadable labels on touch control buttons ; smaller hard drive than similarly priced laptops

Asus' X83VB-X2 is a pleasant surprise for casual gamers -- a generic-looking budget 14-inch laptop with discrete graphics.

In the crowded Budget category of retail laptops, ranging from $600 to $899, we were pleased to find the $679 Asus X83VB-X2, a 14-inch system notable for its discrete Nvidia GeForce 9300 graphics. The display's thick, glossy bezel is a little...

Asus X83VM-X1 - Core 2 Duo P8400 2.26 GHz, 14.1-inch TFT

Great bang for the buck ; GeForce graphics deliver good 3D performance ; HDMI and eSATA ports ; solid construction ; LED-backlit display delivers bright, vibrant image ; quiet operation

Stiff mouse buttons are annoying and loud ; no multimedia shortcut keys ; no Bluetooth despite Bluetooth button

The Asus X83VM-X1 is a well-rounded 14-inch mainstream laptop. It boasts a pleasing design (aside from the stiff, loud mouse buttons), and excellent application performance and 3D graphics performance for the money.

Asus X83VB-X1

Excellent performance for the price ; HDMI and eSATA ports ; solid construction ; LED-backlit display delivers bright, vibrant image ; quiet operation

Glossy keys don't provide the best feel and are loud and clacky, and the gold lettering on the keys is hard to see in low light ; stiff mouse buttons ; no multimedia shortcut keys

A poorly designed keyboard and stiff mouse buttons prevent a higher recommendation for the Asus X83VB-X1, which is an otherwise well-built 14-inch laptop that delivers chart-topping performance for a low price.

We have tested and reviewed five retail laptops in the $800 to $1,000 range, and the Asus X83VB-X1 is the cheapest and most powerful of the bunch. The Asus X83VB-X1 has room for a larger touch pad than the Pavilion dv4-1125nr for the simple fact...
