Review Asus X401U-BE20602Z Notebook

 

Inexpensive AMD netbook. At only $280 retail, the Asus X401U is o

Inexpensive; Very lightweight; Good display for the price; Removable battery; Full-size arrow keys; Relatively large touchpad; USB 3.0

Slow system performance; Average battery life; Poor 1080p playback; No easily removable maintenance hatch; Poor outdoor usability; Active and audible fan when idle; Space bar not reliable; Weak plastic outer lid; Fingerprint magnet; GPU speed throttles...

The full-size arrow keys and large touchpad make navigation easier without the use of an external mouse. The low price point will attract many potential buyers.

Budget Friendly

 

This was a nice upgrade over my aging, single core Dell. I didn't want to spend much money and got this with a discount. I wouldn't spend more than $300 for this. Overall I'm satisfied with the bang for the buck I got. Just have realistic expectations.

Well worth $250 - $300 if you are not picky. Has enough power and graphics to browse the web and play flash games. I don't mind the lack of an optical drive as I can't recall the last time I needed one. There wasn't very many junk programs...

Keyboard feels flimsy, cheap. Plastic smudges and wears easy. The screen is way too reflective, it's like typing into a mirror. Only two USB ports

good for the price

 

I'm using it as I type this review, I like it is light, works good, the only thing is does not have a cd ram. But other wise i'm pretty content with it! I use it for school everyday.

Great notebook!

 

This is a great notebook for the money - fully featured with Windows 7, a big hard drive and great operating system. It is extremely thin and lightweight (possibly because this notebook doesn't have a CD Rom drive), . The "instant on" feature is...
