[lifehacker7700]

Great Gaming Netbook!

[mjndblain]

[Chintendoeddman]

@mjndblain Don't be a noob. It is actually pronounced A-soos. Look it up. The name isn't english.

[mjndblain]

@Chintendoeddman give me proof....then i will say ok ,.....you sheep

[Chintendoeddman]

@mjndblain Google the term "how to pronounce ASUS". Watch their commercials. They either say Ah-soos or A-soos

[abuafak]

Is there a newer model of this now. This review almost 2 yrs old

[Holyfrik1]

[Bizzer10]

[vV0rtex]

[TheAngietron]

I don't know how many times I said, "Shut the fuck up!" While watching this because of all the features it has!! XD Man, this pwns, I want.

[oddha]

[VirtuousSnake]

If I could afford this, I'd definetely downgrade though...

[letseeitplease]

hey anyone know how much this asus n1oj-a2 costs??

[24avenged24]

got mine for about 500 on sale (canadian)

[kamikazerus]

what with the sound ? @_@

[hypertreeko]

thats the slowest counting ever, but hey its fast

[MiK3sk8r007]

w7 could run on this i bet

[xMandalorex]

No window 7 for this yet terrible

[VideoMusicManiac]

I own this lappy and do noy miss the DVD at all. I have a usb DVD to load programs and burn stuff. Put a SSD in it a month ago and now it is bullet proof. A 720p screen would have been great...

[xMandalorex]

netbook not lappy man lol netbooks dont have dvd anyway lol

[joshstube]

I would buy this if it weren't for the screen . . .

Nvidia graphics deserves a higher res screen!

(think 720p minimum - not 600)

[Raklryja]

i want this sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooo

bad.

[Jclz95]

@Raklryja looks ugly

[Edu2503]

yeah, me too!!!!!

[vic0911]

i got 16.9 4 gigs and 520 gb Drive and its Asus 2 :D

[75anonim]

the problem of notebook is no dvd-rom , i dont like notebooks , i like more laptops or more PC's, what a i like at this Windows vista and is have a lot of stuff !

[GrahamCrackers94]

must get.

[ipzent]

why is everybody so hyped about altec lansing speakers in notebooks?!!! for crying out loud... netbook speakers!!!

thats like cellphone-speaker-phone size drivers, packaged in plastic for slightly better acoustic profile.

when toshiba was putting them in their old blue bricks... then yeah ok.... some benefits of altec... but netbook size!?? omg..

[Varghjarta]

I have no idea, but my HP TX2 also has Altec Lansing speakers, quite large too for a laptop. And the sound is awesome, bass and the sound is clean and strong even on very high volume. So whoever made them, I think they do a good job.

[ipzent]

yeah when they are large...

dont get me wrong.. they are nice speakers... but now that the size is shrinking they are becoming over rated.

[fusionDX]

i want the price

[trublu45458]

Hey, I have a 15.4 inch and 140gb harddrive and a pentium dual core and 3gb ram.

Mine's a little better

[ipzent]

you guys can upgrade...

[maphound]

Great.

ASUS makes the best computers, period!

Will this work with windows 7?

[MrShfinky]

yeah. my 900ha without the discrete graphics works faster on it than xp.

[Inmate527]

This guy has no idea what hes talking about.

[mz3GT]

really? are you sure you're watching the same video?

[valentino8701]

Damn i think a lot of things suck about this note/netbook. For example the screen,besides the regular frame it seems that there is and even smaller frame around the screen, looks a bit off.

HDMI output is nothing new.

and if you actually have the big graphiccard which is nice, i would rather buy an actual laptop for 599:P

Fingerprint reader ....why?

[NeoQuello]

this fucker can't count seconds?? it took 10 seconds .. which is not bad..

[baseballrunner76]

LMAO i saw this comment right after I yelled 'THATS TEN SECONDS YOU IDIOT'

[DOUBLESH0CK]

ok well I bought it off tigerdirect ca and it'll arrive around October 14th. Super excited because now I'll be able to play Quake Live flawlessly and Half Life 2 and other fun games like that.

[DOUBLESH0CK]

and what is better, A2 or A1? All I can find is the A1.

[frankfrank127]

how much is this?

[takerisen18]

this beast is available on newegg for 599 or you can get it at tigerdirect now for 669, the difference being is you get the updated version of it from tigerdirect.

[DOUBLESH0CK]

what's the difference?

[takerisen18]

The difference is you get a 250gb hard drive as opposed to the 160gb, and you get the improved geforce g 105m graphics chip with 512vram as opposed to the 9300gs with 256vram, also the new model has a led backlit screen.

[crypiticfire]

where can i buy one??

[theshadowpkr]

is vista good"?

[ipullstuffapart]

NOOOOOOOOOO wait until oct 22 and get windows 7 way better than vista

[xXpEiXx]

were can u see the prices?

[FlamingHomelessDude]

looks like awesomeness

[kornguy26]

well shit i want it now for when im on the go

[Hekynn]

Hows the basic gaming like cod4 wow and aion? Thinking about getting cause of price on newegg and the small yet good gaming. :)

[4ever8bit]

i gatta get one of these

[monkeyinapopesuit]

the very fact that you people say this wont run HD videos wel is a credit to this netbook. its not a laptop people

[thelegendman80]

uhh can someone tell me the price?

[CameraHelper]

899 usd

[leetszyung]

,,,,

[0621211]

I'm leaning towards the Acer 1810T (1410 ULV in USA). Bigger screen (11.6), higher resolution (!), better CPU, better battery (8 hours; actually true) & not to mention, cheaper as well...

[0621211]

This netbook is totally overpriced for what you get. The only thing worth it here is the 9300M GS, so I'd only recommend this if you make use of 3D apps. Otherwise, this netbook is not good at all. It will not run Vista smoothly because the CPU is too weak. You'll be downgrading to XP within a weak. HD youtube videos have skipped frames all over. Battery life is about 6 hours max and price is just ridiculous.

[matthewcool03]

whats ur email

[cervelott]

Albert, one of the most thorough and in depth reviews I have seen in a long time.

Great work my friend.

[TheDice2008]

You did again. You use the phrase "it's ridiculous"...plus...netbooky? What's that??

[SolidValidus]

To buy this or hold out for the nVidia Ion based netbooks.....

[rysliv]

its 9300m gs

[SolidValidus]

You think its able to handle youtube HD and Hulu? I honestly dont know enough about laptops/netbooks to judge.

[0621211]

HD videos DO NOT run smoothly on this laptop.

[plat133733]

yes it does learn how to, you need mplayer classic and combine community codec pack, this thing runs 1080i mkv movies on hdmi out to my tv like a blu ray player

[Wrapper22]

I'm going to be getting one in a few days (Last one that I can find around here)

[redbaron14389]

battery life sux of course no disc drive since its technically a netbook so just go external no big deal.

[ShootoGreat]

I think he might like this netbook

[DasPooperTrooper]

$397 at Staples!!!!! I'm picking one up right now!!!

[tbank51]

where's dvd or cd burner? O_o

[goihe]

no cd burn

[deepblack123]

haha at first i thought the piece of paper beside him was a macbook air

[mj11]

lol he said 9300 m gt lol lol i wish

[DasPooperTrooper]

Staples / Bureau En Gros (in Quebec) is selling this for $497 canadian.

The only difference is a 1 year warranty and 250GB hard drive.

[ToganR]

ya, i wonder if ours at staples has that video card switch

[DasPooperTrooper]

Yes, it has hybrid graphics. You can switch between the gma 950 and the Nvidia 9300m gs

[ToganR]

right. so the only difference with the A2 is 250GB HDD.

[matthewd79]

get it from misco in the UK but £528

[lowspecreview]

its about 500$ at stamples right now

[1992nez]

Hi can anyone let me know where i can buy this netbook from in the UK. I've searched eveywhere and they always seem to say out of stock. Fanx

[franfred11]

This or a eee pc 1000ha netbook?

[tenchubr9999]

Fanboy -_-

Maybe someone else can review the thing, I coulnd't keep hearing "awesome" and "amazing" any more.

Crap review.

[tylerblogger]

It's not being a fanboy, he is impressed with the feature set

[manshstrawy]

lol best of both worlds ur miley /hannah fan thats pretty gay 4 a 20-30 yr old dude

[ShadowShinobi22]

tv tuner?

[860015]

i hate the name asus that name sounds fuckin stupid speech defect wouldn't buy a product with that name on it

Asustek sounds bit better but asus sounds

just like a fuckin ridiculous lisp

these guys need

a name change.

[riro1riro]

hahahahahahahahahahaahahahahaa­hahahaha

omg (Y)

[RapidOwnz3]

I love your reviews albert, (or whoever you are) and now I'm going to buy this netbook only because you made it look that good. xD

[idonofosho]

His name is Im a PC, didnt you see his nametag

[RapidOwnz3]

Hahahaha nice yeah i totally missed it xD

[djdecca]

wooow hdmi

[Vaculiklukas]

best

[english6715]

Awsome netbook. Bought one a month ago and I am loving it. The new N10Jh will apparently have 512MB video - but considering the atom bottlenecks the performance here, I don#t expect there to be much improvement. Runs forst shooters at medium / high graphics very well.

[Eggy247]

Are they planning an upgrade to this model? I'm thinking about getting one.  N10J 250 gig on sale here for $599!!! Great deal. Is it worth it?

[dlinkdj]

hehe i'm watching this video with my n10j, i got it about a month ago on windows xp, oced to 2.06ghz. i payed 597$ at staples and they just recently lowered the price to 547$ -.-. 250GB HDD, 2GB ram...

[gripwing]

ill be getting mine next week woo!!!!!!

[DandamanV]

Oh man... i wish that i had known about that because i bought a Toshiba A300 Sat Pro and it's already slowing down (stupid vista!). Having the Asus laptop would be awesome

[killingman22]

i just need a cheap mini laptop just for surfing the internet not all that fancing crap

[violetmasterchief]

asus eee pc 700 4 u

[2fast4u5]

What's a good laptop that has 4 gigs of ram, a 320 gig harddrive, good graphics, good speakers. thats under at least$900.000 or lower? I have $1,500.00

[OmarJAYT]

Trust me, if you want heavy gaming get a Desktop PC...

In my experience, laptops with powerful video cards can over heat very fast.

[2fast4u5]

Nah, it's not for gaming. Well.. sorta but not really.. I just want a machine that can have the ability to play games, not freeze, etc..

[OmarJAYT]

That depends on which kind of games you are planning to play.

[dmix09]

someone PLEASE HELP me out! i want to sell my mobo.. with the cpu/heatsink/fan/mobo case plate. it is an: ASUS A8M2N-LA + AMD Athlon 64 X2 (W) 4000+ 2.1 GHz 2000 MT/s (mega transfers/second) Socket AM2 Chipset GeForce 6150 LE im having a tough time figuring out how much to put it up for on ebay. i was thinking $199 maybe? too much? too little? the condition is excellent by the way, it was only used for a few weeks. anyway thanks in advance for any replies!

[mentanx]

I'ld pay for that 150 or 175 $ so 199$ is a good deal but if you really want that money overclock your processor ! It really worths!

[dmix09]

awesome i'll look into doing that right away!

thanks for the advice, i completely forgot i could do that!

[mentanx]

:D Thanks :)

[mentanx]

btw if you wan't to overclock it like 2.8 GHz

Get a good power supply and watercooling OR a very good air cooling

Keep your processor UNDER 60º or 65º ! If it is an AMD Please Be carefull in the overclocking!

[OTAKUJHE]

this notebook is THE notebook for me. Portability plus a strong and better connection (wi-fi N) this is truly THE notebook for the ppl that are always on the go. the price is heavy though.

[mikethk]

reason why the price is high, is cause you got it with grahpic card. Check out HP 10,2 one, I thing it has some good wireless to.

[Funkywallot]

There are netbooks more lightweight and smaller and also better equiped with bulit in HSPA modem. This netbook is for gamers who like to pay overpriced stuff just to satisfy their addction anytime everywhere lol .

[OTAKUJHE]

Well I don't see it as a gamers nbook. The cpu is not that powerful. Atom is not design for games. Don't know why ASUS put an 9M series in this nbook. Maybe your right about gamers addiction. As for Wi-Fi, b/g is okay but most of my co-worker got b/g and I got an n. they are not satisfied with their Wi-Fi.

[lirongna]

how much is the price for this one?

[ryanbycraft]

Well, i feel it's very reasonable, this isn't really a standard Netbook, i see it more as a Notebook in a 10.2" form factor... the only "Netbook" style component is the Atom processor, which is a very good single core processor. Everything eles on this Netbook / Notebook is more like a Notebook. When you put Notebook components into a smaller form factor it always raises the price.

I live in the UK and it's £489.99 which is a little more than a 15.6" notebook with simular specs.

5* for me x

[Funkywallot]

Anyway, I woulden´t trust the N-10 to run the pre installed Vista. It is much to underpowered for it. I suspect most of the owners would downgrade to XP sooner then later. I dont see the point to add the cost of Vista to the package.

[uppityox]

what the fuck is this, he acts like this is a god notebook. 1.6 Ghz? 2gbs of ram? lolol.

[xxxxxlolwutxxxxx]

Netbook you dumbshit.

That's why it's good.

[uppityox]

the name does not give it any justification at all -.-

[mikethk]

well it has a grahpic card. And a lot of other stuff. If you read enogh about those netbooks you can get, this one is awsome better.

[RegiMoep]

Why is there no A2 in Germany? .__.

[Funkywallot]

In fact the Asus n10 is almost 1000$ Retail where i live, The 8,9 screen Acer with 160GB HD, 2 expansion slots AND HSDPA/HSPA slot for simcard (internet) is just about 400$ Retail, just about now.

A no brainer.

[dlinkdj]

wow where do u live? i live in montreal and its only 599$ at staples...

[Funkywallot]

I just checked the price for then N10 again, and here in the promised land of Sweden the n10 sells for 945 american dollars after currencyconcersion. Thats the cheapest way to get one here. In U.K. the price is around 530 £ = 833$ :-(

[dlinkdj]

if u know anyone from canada let them get u one and when they visit they give it to u and u pay them lol:P idk, well vista looked pretty stable and fast on the demo they have at the store i thought it would load to just press the start on the bottom left it was pretty fast:P im getting mine next week instead after i get my paycheck:P

[Funkywallot]

Maybe we have a business opportunity here. The big advantage of the N10 is the global warranty . No need to send items with faults back to Canada, just hand it over to a local asus contractor.

If you ship 25 Asus n10 to me , I could sell them here and make a 200 $ profit per piece = 5000$ in all . ;-)

[Funkywallot]

Given the fact that you have at least 15 000 C$ to spend in advance for our investment :-D

[Funkywallot]

I would have bought this one. But sadly it has no HSDPA/HSPA slot for simcard wireless internet, and i hate the thought that i must connect an additionell dongle the the USB to go online.

So, its the Acer aspire one for me, at a much lesser price.

[4DUMBASSES]

is this for retail at frys or best buy? and how well will it play play CS 1.6 and quake live?

[xxxxxlolwutxxxxx]

Yeah It'll play 1.6 easily.

[dlinkdj]

im getting one from staples today(i dont think they sell in best buy) they put the price down to 599.99$ and yea it should play cs1.6 like nothing if its already able to play css and max graphics (higher fps if u overclock which i will do) :)

[trungskiies]

does it come with a hdmi cable ?

[shomval]

dont think so

[angustihema]

yes.

[imdumbnoob]

he's forgotten to say something, its heavier than most other netbook.

[shomval]

ah its around 3.5lbs/1.5kg , not that much

[leodamascus]

That thing has better specs than my notebook, for the same price. I wish I'd bought that thing instead.

[0verseer]

Eh, how could they forget built in HSDPA/HSPA slot for simcard ?!

[Daht88]

I'm getting one right now... thats the best netbook yet

[gsharpshooter80]

for ppl sayin its expensive well there is the other option of 669 bucks for this but its the asus n10-j-a1 this one is the a2 which comes with buisness and what not the other one has the same thing though just 160gb hdd and no xp downgrade and vista premium which is good for me personally but i think spending more money is the answer lool

[gsharpshooter80]

oo to his question at the end of what more could u want THERES A HUGE BIGGY actually personally for me and that my friends is 3g slot but i might get an iphone for that so yeah

[rulestherails]

The N10 is definitely not the best gaming netbook however it should not be underestimated. It can play more games than you will think at 640x480 or 800x600 (remember the LCD is a 1024x800)

The Atom is not the most powerful processor by any means but it is a very capable processor. It can surprise with its performance. The 9300GS is also a good graphics chip that earns its keep very well

I want one and should be buying one in a few months (used a friends for a week and love it)

[Yousee4]

Lol, this guy's an authentic geek

[OTAKUJHE]

I strongly recomend this netbook. Most of the netbook got XP OS but this is Vista. I know, I know it's Vista but you can upgrade it to Window 7 when it comes out.

[OTAKUJHE]

The cpu is not powerful to play awesome games today. Is like the game is just for to kill time. It's a netbook.

[4DUMBASSES]

will it play counter strike source, ut3, and call of duty 4?

[philo23]

CS:S will probably play, UT3 / CoD4 probably not.

[SethFlippinMatthews]

@4DUMBASSES.

Don't hope on anything, its more of a netbook, and the mother board isn't made for gaming like that.

[4DUMBASSES]

oh, okay thanks

[dlinkdj]

it can play cod4, css, check vids on youtube there are vids of people playing those games with this netbook.

[p954203864]

Hey i got the N10J in march, with 2GB ram and 250GB harddisk its going awesome, the discrete graphics work really well for basic gaming (Halo, NFS underground, pj64). No problems at all so far, although even though the battery life is awesome (does go for 6+ hours) im not into the 6 cell battery that sticks out the back, so im going for a 3 cell that sits flush with the case. Besides that its the perfect netbook. Definitely a good buy, and thanks heaps for the review it helped alot.

[trungskiies]

heys .. doess it really last over 6 hours ?

were u on powersaving mode ? was it in dedicated grphics ? what activities were you doing hahas tyy

[FilthyLucre94]

does it play grand theft auto 4?

[tcpnet]

It does at 960x480 everything minimal at 30fps. You can clunk the settings up and get around 15fps..

[pel6413]

how much is asus paying this guy...

stop selling it and review the damn thing.

BTW 800$, holly shit that's expensive for an atom machine....

[llamasaveur]

Drooooooooooooooooooooooooool.­

[ConorUtTutela]

he said it had been on for 6.5 hours and was nowhere near done.

bet he didnt realise that we saw it was plugged in.

[Venim0]

only half of it was... he showed the other half unplugged

[DiabloTheGreat]

AMAZING COMPUTER
