Asus W3J Review

TrustedReviews has recently reviewed the Asus W3J, a 14 inch screen notebook with a Core Duo processor and some reasonable graphic power.

The W3J is the second of two notebooks from Asus that have caught my eye recently. The first was the W5J, which packed a lot of power into a relatively diminutive shell thanks to a 2GHz Core Duo processor. The W5J was also noticeable for its white shell and fetching blue lights, designed to appeal to those in touch with their feminine side, or indeed females.

The W3J adds some more bulk, upping the weight from 1.6Kg to 2Kg with the standard battery and 2.2Kg with the extended battery, but for that you gain an extra two inches of diagonal screen size, (14in instead of 12in) and a far more powerful graphics chipset, an ATI Mobility Radeon X1600, which makes games a realistic option.

In the end they give everything about the machine a 9 out of ten, though I don’t like its low battery life, needing the extended 8 cell battery to squeeze out just four hours of time away from a power socket is a little silly these days.
