Prima - small, handy, powerful!

The request was: netbook with dual-core processor and a separate RAM for the graphics. The device is currently the only one in this price range that offers these two features (Sony & Co. can of course, only a lot more expensive * g *). The plan was extremely light hand luggage with a graphics card that appeals to a projector easily without take too long for the screen layout.

The first device was unfortunately broken - but: Kudos to Amazon! The exchange went completely smoothly and super fast!
On the second unit just in heaven - everything went by itself (although the Windows updates nervous of course!). However, two things fall on this "MS Office 2010 Starter" version (which is only Excel and Word, and both with advertising) you can really forget. Hab then simply installed OpenOffice, now it's about. What is easily irritated, these are indeed installed with Trend Micro Titanium and Windows Defender Anti-Spy or antivirus programs, but in my personal experience to a Norton, BitDefender or Kaspersky insufficient ran. That's too bad, and definitely not enough for a device that Net-book and is of use here very, very urgently needs protection.

One point I want to clear complaint: The device comes well packed with power supply and power cord - but you will find no recovery CD. The manual is very well described how to make a recovery, though: one (ie ie min 32GB) need a USB flash disk> 16 GB and then it'll just go. Ok, the 32MB stick only cost 30 euros on Amazon, but I find that Asus you'll save in the wrong place and the customer imposes unnecessary costs. As a company Asus would pay significantly less than 1 Euro for the Recovery CD and burn, then prefer. A little more for the PC as this solution OK, I was just not 32 GB stick at home, maybe I'm too old-fashioned * g *. My external HDD I could for the recovery not use - because the manual is very clear "all data will be deleted from the disk before the recovery is partly filled with" -ok ......

Conclusion: despite the 2 little things - really just top marks. The device is class, the separate RAM for the graphics card brings it. Now I am building another storage expansion, and then I got the "Businness PC in miniature" as I wished it to me. Thanks Amazon + Asus!
