ASUS WL-169gE

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

...'t have the phone cable, so again, very useful. Although wireless connectivity is very standard in laptops these days, having the Draft-N wireless standard in this laptop means that the wireless network can have a longer range and faster transfer speeds. I have a wireless N router at home and download speeds have been excellent when downloading from the Internet. I also seem to be able to make use of the Wireless N speeds of 100Mbits upwards. I have also managed to connect to Wireless G (54Mbits) networks without any problems so I am pleased with the connectivity. It has a built-in SD Card reader, which is nice to have and although SD Cards are probably the most common type of memory card, many people have digital cameras that use other types of memory cards. It's a nice option but I would have preferred for Asus to have put... Read review
