Review Asus R510CA-CJ862H Notebook

Temptation in red. From the technological point of view, the R510CA offers nothing more than your standard features. Noteworthy are the touchscreen and large hard drive. But the computer's big attraction is its red attire.

Red case, 24-month warranty, Runs quietly, Display has no blue cast, Display offers good color values, The red case and that the notebook runs quietly

No Haswell processor, Expensive, Meager battery life, Low-contrast display, A better battery life and a better display

Review Asus Eee PC R051PX Netbook

One more please! Asus has released the next addition to the Eee P

Good workmanship; Matt display; High brightness; Long battery life; Low noise emissions; Low temperature emissions

Weak contrast; Weak program performance; No Bluetooth; USB 3.0, eSata and HDMI are not available

Whether the tablet boom falls or rises, Asus remains faithful to its netbooks (primarily).

Review Asus Eee PC R101 Netbook

Display Miracle! The Eee PC R101 is the new start model in the Eee netbook family. The specs sound very interesting: Intel Atom N450 processor, matt 10.1 inch screen and Windows XP Home for a low 249 euro. We've put the device through its paces.

High-quality workmanship and haptics, Plain design, Price, Brilliant display, Good emission rates, Performance (office), Undisputedly: the matt, bright display with an excellent image contrast

Connectivity, Moderate battery life, Poor loudspeakers, Extendability

Asus R510J #ExpressReview: Perfect machine for your next LAN party

From its design to performance - gaming is in the DNA of Asus R510J, after all this machine is meant for hard-core gamers.

I don’t have any doubt about the abilities of this gaming machine. It does work really well but there are definitely few shortcomings here.

Asus R510J Review

Anti-glare display Decent full-HD gaming performance

5400rpm drive; no SSD Heats up a lot while gaming No backlit keys Average battery life

The Asus R510J is priced at Rs. 69,990, which feels a bit steep considering you can get the updated R.O.G GL522JX with a faster hard drive, backlit keys, HD webcam and better CPU for a bit more. More than the specs however, you'll be getting a much...

I received it and it was bugged

I recommend that you never buy a refurbished product since its complicated and risky.

I wouldn't know I didn't get to try it.

- I couldn't send it back to new egg cause i got rid of the box right away. - Constant black screen the first day i open the laptop ( It was not a driver problem, everything about that was tried) - Asus costumer support tried to help me, been 2 weeks i...

Great Laptop

I bought this laptop as my first ASUS laptop and I'm already sold on the brand. The computer is nice and fast and can handle everything I throw at it so far. The only down side is Windows 8 but I will be upgrading it when 10 comes available. The laptop...

Lightweight ; HDD space ; Memory ; Doesn't feel cheap and plastic ; i3 processor is plenty fast for what I do with it ; Sharp blue color ; Clear display and great resolution. Videos look great on the screen ; Runs very cool

Great Specs, Terrible Performance

Great specs for the price

The computer just does not perform.. I've tried Dalaran WoW and I get less than 1 FPS, Path of Exile gets under 10 FPS, DOTA 2 under 10 FPS, all while attempting to lower the game settings ; I feel like with the specs this machine has it should be...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Good, but not amazing

Good overall, although the specs list lies on the GPU. If you want heavy duty graphics either overclock or look elsewhere. AMD 8760M specs page: http://www.amd.com/en-us/products/graphics/notebook/8500m-8600m

CPU actually runs faster than 2.5 GHz, it can safely run at up to 3.5 GHz ; Hard drive is a decent size ; Display is crisp at 1920p. Has a good anti-glare ; Can run most games on low-mid settings

GPU is lower than listed. On AMD's website, they list the 8670M (which is this laptop's GPU) as having a max of 1GB of DDR3 RAM. This is significantly worse than what it could have been. Reason being all modern GPUs use GDDR5 RAM, which is generally...

The gift that keeps on giving

Nice specs for CPU and APU vs. price

Keeps dying. I've two hard drives fail. ASUS repaired twice. Now, the display is dying. My guess is that when they replaced the hard drive the second time, they broke the very fragile small display connector thing. I have it back just a couple of weeks...
