Asus A8Js Core 2 Duo laptop reviewed


Laptop mag fulfills its editorial mission with a review of the A8Js, that new laptop from Asus which rocks a 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo T7200 processor, a 14.1-inch, 1,440 by 900 pixel widescreen LCD, a dual-layer DVD+-R/RW drive, 2GB of RAM, 802.11a/b/g, Bluetooth 2.0 (still a rarity in a laptop), a built-in webcam, 100GB hard drive, and a 512MB Nvidia GeForce Go 7700 video card. The battery life on this thing isn't so hot (they managed to squeeze out a mere 2 hours and 36 minutes), but they give the A8Js high marks for its muscular graphics card and (relatively) powerful processor, saying that, "You're not likely to find a lower-priced notebook with this much 3D-graphics power."
