The acquisition reason of a netbook was with me the replacement of my bulky 15 "notebooks for a small but powerful device. Since I am a student and certainly am traveling a lot, I decided for a netbook. The first point was as usual Amazon. No sooner said than done , the same times the search term entered netbook. The first offer came the same "Asus F200CA".
Since me the words "Linux" as a computer science student spoke as we usually work with Linux, it was a primary factor for me.
So first the design and appearance of the netbook:
+ Very handy and easy
+ Screen size is 11.6 "exactly ideal for traveling.
+/- Actually quite well made. Although everything is made of plastic, but it looks with the slightly roughened structure quite classy.
Speed and performance:
+ For commercial work with Office applications, browsing, or in my case mainly programming and compile no problem. With the built-in dual-core + 2GB RAM everything works without stutter or falter. Also streaming HD video works without problems.
+ In my opinion, sufficient battery capacity of about 3 hours.
+ Very quiet fan
Conclusion:
For all those looking for a fast netbook on the go, and are not afraid to switch to Linux, I would recommend this device wholeheartedly recommend!
