Asus W5F notebook Review

With ultraportable laptops, manufacturers usually push for smaller and lighter machines, even if doing so requires the sacrifice of some features. But the Asus W5F is one of a new breed of ultraportables (which also includes the Dell XPS M1210 and the Lenovo 3000 V100) that retain a little bit of bulk and weight in exchange for a rich feature set and a larger screen size. The 3.9-pound Asus W5F provides a great range of multimedia features, including a built-in double-layer DVD burner, a 100GB hard drive, and strong, though not amazing, performance. Given its $1,799 price and stingy support policy, however, we have a hard time recommending it over similar models from larger manufacturers.
