For my niece, I have now prepared this ASUS PC. The decisive criteria in the selection was the processor, the HD graphics and the matte screen, as well as the good price. There should be a 15 "be it, although I rather prefer for reasons of mobility, Subnotes. The device is intended for schools and internet, music and videos. The price is absolutely ok and quality and workmanship are surprisingly good. Although everything is made of plastic, but this is not too thin and quite wertig in feeling. The corrugated plastic surface looks a bit strange from, is in the feel but very pleasant and good grip and prevents fingerprints before. The weight still okay. It fits everything and has nothing to large gaps or is rickety. The scope of supply is reduced to the essentials, power supply, battery and a small guide, nothing more. Everything was clean and suitable for transport packaging. The production of the recovery CD's is proposed by the computer during the setup process immediately, the process is due to the built-in torch easy but a bit lengthy. Additionally, it should be something to be cleared under the supplied programs, a Windows Update should follow, as well as reconfiguring update tasks and security alerts. Then it's up to you which programs he installed it. In the work I have the touchpad felt to be quite pleasant, even if you do not really need the rotating and zooming. Scrolling comes with 2 fingers through linear slide on the pad just fine, only the two hard and loud clicky "mouse buttons" are a bit disturbing. The reaction of the pad to finger touches as a double is sufficiently sensitive, who has problems with it that should "click speed" vary. The keyboard is pleasant to write, the number block for me an add-on, but not really necessary. Because it bothers me even more that the arrow keys, remove, screen up / down, structured and arranged could be greater. For mouse users this is not an issue, but for people who have come from the DOS era, keyboard shortcuts are still helpful. The screen is well hidden and hardly represents colors while not brilliant, but clearly represents, and has a sufficient viewing angle. The HD Ready resolution makes for videos and DVD's a good figure. The support is sufficiently stable, but it locks into place when not close and is held in position by friction only. With a 10 "netbook that is not a problem, but at 15" it can be a source of error over time. Here, the low price makes noticeable. The processor speed and the graphic with the HD Ready resolution makes for videos and DVD's (SD) is a good figure. Nothing jerky, no streaks. However, it is already driven in conversions, for example of music and video formats to the top of the performance. The processing time is acceptable. Positive also two gadget's from Asus are noted. The power consumption profile, ie in particular processing power and screen brightness can be easily adjusted by the user and varies on "User Modes". If the status is "Internet / Entertain 'example, the processor is limited to 80%, the screen brighter because a sufficient battery power for a little over 4 hours Wlan and film what I look quite appropriate. The speakers are actually not great, but with a headset, the sound card is really good. The microphone and the video camera is suitable for Skype, nothing more. Weaknesses there certainly. The DVD drive is slow, and does not make very stable impression. As you notice the price, as the number of USB ports is borderline. A 3.0 is positive, but only one other port is too little. The other ports and plugs are ok, in my opinion, an on / off button for WLAN and a volume control missing, but by software that goes well and just cheaper. The central on / off button can also be switched with a small tool into standby or hibernation, which is pleasant to the computer quickly down or go up.
Conclusion: A quite good price / performance ratio, good quality. For office, school and internet absolutely sufficient, those who want more, just needs to spend more. One point deduction for drive, camera and microphone, as well as the only 2 USB ports, but really you should expect the plan again for the low price.
