ASUS A6KM Review

Pocket-lint takes a look at the ASUS A6KM, a budget notebook that manages to earn a respectable eight out of ten.

The A6KM differs from the more expensive machines by virtue of the fact it’s constructed of toughened plastic instead of aluminium, which has been reserved for use on the touchpad. That said, it does cost £849 (inc. VAT), making it a tempting and affordable notebook. Solid and firm to the touch, this 3.2kg chassis will take the knocks of occasional travel. It’s weight may limit the number of times you take it on the move with you and the battery life of just over 2 hours we got in daily use didn’t really impress.

One of the cool things about this notebook, that eventhough it is a budget machine, it does have a few little extras, like a 1.3-megapixel webcam built into the panel just above the screen.
