ASUS N10 REVIEW

ASUS N10 – Leaves back quiet a few questions

The high-quality ASUS N10 is a Netbook above all the rest, beginning a new-fangled market slice named the "Corporate Netbook." The N10 proposes comparable features to customary Netbook’s, together with an Intel Atom platform and WSVGA display, but with the toting up of elective switchable devoted graphics accelerator and a fancy intend.

Design
The N10 is calculated a step above other Netbook’s, with a superior paint format and chrome accents. The silhouette is slimmer than the 1000HA we just evaluated, but the thinner silhouette arrives from the battery sticking out as an alternative of down. While a few people get hung up on a power pack that hangs off the backside of a laptop.

Performance
From the instant I obtained this laptop I was extremely concerned in seeing the recital of the Intel Atom platform with a devoted graphics accelerator card attached. Almost all designs use the dated Intel GMA950 graphics card, which slow the whole lot down, together with movie decoding. With the NVIDIA 9300M graphics accelerator, this Netbook might have a blast at decoding 720p video in a extremely compact wrap up that has HDMI out.

For our investigation we tried an extensive range of high definition substance together with an assortment of HD movies and HD movie trailers. Miserably, even though we tried a large range of video codec’s, including Core-AVC, the Intel Atom processor didn’t include enough mumble to keep a stable decoding frame rate.

Overall
The ASUS N10, while performing fairly well in our checking in on the whole presentation, didn’t see much increase in day-to-day use from the devoted graphics. While the toting up nets you an HDMI port, it doesn’t facilitate with decoding HD movies or aid with many games given that the Intel Atom processor doesn’t have sufficient influence to grip those activities.

Pros
+ Enhanced cooling over preceding EEE PC models
+ High-quality battery sprint life
+ Slimmer propose over 10” EEE PC 1000
+ Express Card slot for extension
+ HDMI harvest from a Netbook

Cons
- Elevated price tag.
- Committed graphics don’t really perk up HD video decoding or easygoing gaming
- Keyboard doesn’t sense as contented as other 10” Netbook’s.
