Very pretty, but too little power

Asus R11CX-RED002S 25.7 cm (10.1 inches) Netbook (Intel Atom N2600, 1.6GHz, 1GB RAM, 320GB HDD, Windows 7 Starter) red (Personal Computers)

Customer Review

The advantages of this netbook are its attractive appearance (the color is chic, and there acts in that it is very thin quite elegant) and the matte display, which makes working even in sunshine and outdoors without any problems. A great feature that is rare in this price range!

So these were two not insignificant for me advantages that have made my decision, "Keep or not" pretty hard. In the end I got it but then returned because it is simply not enough has power.

In a pre-installed Windows 7 (Starter version) to have only 1GB of memory, is already very meager. But what is really annoying that can be compared to other netbooks, the memory is removed and replaced with a larger one. Asus has a memory card just once soldered to prevent an exchange! I find that really annoying.

In contrast, Toshiba, which also offer netbooks with only 1GB of memory, on a video on your own homepage on how to replace the memory card can easily within a half minutes.

Perhaps you think at Asus that customers, which one gigabyte is permanently too little, then change to a larger notebook. For me, the non removable memory card does the opposite: it gives me the company unappealing, and I'll probably pull in future no computer from Asus more shortlisted.

The small capacity of memory made itself noticeable by the way after a short period of use. When playing an Videso (there are no other programs were open!) Hung on the Recher and was about two minutes a loud humming sound, which could be stopped by anything. He then jumped back itself into the working mode and the buzzing stopped. Overall, what has happened in the three-day test phase five times!

So I would say, if someone has only occasionally time to write a little bit, no great technical demands on its netbook and emphasis on a nice appearance, which can perhaps be happy with this device. Maybe it works better with Linux and Ubuntu, I can not judge. Otherwise: For Windows 7, the memory should be either from the outset greater than 1 GB or expanded accordingly.
