ASUS S5NE

 

This nicely appointed laptop is one to consider for those concerned with price more than battery life.

At $1,600 (street), the ASUS entry is one of the least expensive ultraportables around. A similarly equipped ThinkPad X40 would run you $200 more, but it delivers much better battery life (2:26 on our tests; First Looks, March 16) and is a better...

ASUS S5Ne- Notebook Reviews by Mobile Tech Review

 

Subnotebooks often cost twice as much as standard sized notebooks. While many of us would like to take a load off our feet and backs when traveling or simply have no need for a large notebook, high prices mean that the average 8 lb. notebook is what...

A small and exceptionally light subnotebook that's very attractive and well-made. It's a fast performer, beating out other 1 GHz Centrino notebooks we've tested. The display is very sharp, bright and clear. A slim external DVD/DCRW drive is included,...

Battery life is relatively short at just under two hours with moderate power management. Get a second battery or the extended 9 cell battery

This notebook is a winner, offering great performance, extreme low weight, an optical drive and great looks for a low price. Pro: A small and exceptionally light subnotebook that's very attractive and well-made. It's a fast performer, beating out other...

Best for the money

 

My wife just purchased the laptop from newegg, and got it in 2 days, considering we are at the east coast. It's fairly amazing. I own an IBM X31, and believe me, I want to trade my X31 with this ASUS. The laptop is extremely well made, and it's almost...

Great Portable

 

I just gave one to my wife for her B-day, and she loves it. The screen quality is much better than I would have expected for a 12". You can see pictures very nicely. In addition, her office supports wireless and it installed automatically. We dial-up...

OMG AWESOME PRODUCT!!!!

 

I recieved the unit and this computer was much faster than I thought (some review said that it was slow compare to other brand with similiar specification) After installing Kingston's U6464C250 512MB Module.. I was 100% satisfied with the performance...

Awesome!

 

NewEgg.com has best price and most important of all, best service! Although, I think they should have more links or forum on the each item page that lead user to get more information about the item they are buying. Since NewEgg.com does not support any...

great ultralight

 

3 lbs, about 2 hours of battery with power saver on, comes with case, wireless mouse and small, slick external CD-RW/DVD. A great buy but note real fast (like similar models with pentium M). Note carefully - RAM is 172 pin "micro" format DDR - most ram...
