ASUS M50SA AK060C

Advantages: Fun laptop powers up and off quickly
Disadvantages: Poor battery life

...A great laptop for using on the go, powers on and off very quickly, lots of cool features you don't get on a normal laptop like periodic table and games such as frozen bubble, penguin racer and go karting all built in. However the battery life is very poor, advertised as up to nine hours on the asus website but in reality this can only be achieved when all functions of use - bluetooth, wireless internet connection, graphics etc are switched off. All in all an excellent and fun piece of equipment but definitely more suitable for people looking for something to use for fun and basic internet use rather than for work purposes, great for kids in particular as basic office applications work fine and are compatible with Microsoft office if needed to view on other computers. Also has easy links to google documents and built in email and webcam... Read review

Advantages: Good battery life, Good specifications, Wireless N and Bluetooth
Disadvantages: Better netbooks available, Poor webcam

...support for a few more different types of cards. It is nice that it has a webcam built into the bezel of the screen but the picture quality is not very good, especially in low light. Although this is more of a gimmick, I'm still not too impressed with this particular feature, as there are similar spec'ed machines with better webcams. The lack of an optical drive (normal with smaller laptops) means that you do need an external USB drive, which needs to be purchased separately. I have one so that's not a problem but it does mean an extra expense of around £50 if you do not have one already or if you can't get the software over the Internet or over a network. Asus have included a Windows XP system restore DVD, which obviously can't be used unelss you have an external drive. It does come with Star Office pre-installed, which is... Read review
