Asus W90VP-UZ003K

Do it now only three days in succession, so extensively reviewing will not work. Briefly: Performance You could judge him almost as a desktop. I have not tested 3DMark or something, I'm more of the type: install game and watch what he does. So, Far Cry 2 installed and played at 1920 x 1080 with all settings on Ultra High. The coolers coughing once and then run the whole like a charm. And that the "Standard" mode (can still be a "Overclock" mode on top). Only when I went to turn antialiasing framerate began to plummet, but all in all it plays wonderfully. Granted that in the Vista environment everything reacts quickly. Programs start is second job. Image Quality screen is crystal clear, very beautiful to look at. It is a reflective screen. I did not bother (you can look beautiful if your hair is good if the screen turn black during a game), but some are preferred for matte screens. 18 inch is now not much more, but it's a laptop, right? Colors are not real natural, black is not quite black, more like a very dark gray, but I do not bother me about it. Can always be linked to a screen (both VGA and HDMI outputs available). Bouwkwaliteit he feels sturdy. It's obviously a big, bulky laptop, but the keystrokes, the finish, the opening and closing of the screen feel very well. All parts fit well, nothing ramelt or vibrates. Ergonomics I think this is one of the "lesser" points. Problem is that the keyboard is 4 cm above the table surface. So you can not really easy to let your wrists on the laptop, and rest your arms on the table (but yes, according to the Working MAG that either ... ). If you go down the table which can adjust, then I can highly recommend it (but I can not table). Of course it is a "full" keyboard, so including number pad. The keys for numbers and letters are surprisingly large, really striking, but the buttons for example, delete, home, pageup, arrow keys, etc are made ​​smaller again. Having worked there for 4 hours, I am still not used to it - after 3 total. Furthermore a minus points: the left of the keyboard are the "touch" buttons for playing music and DVDs. One of these buttons to start a "Windows Media Center" program (AI Touch Media) and sits right next to the "Esc" key. I'm such a type that occasionally his hand on the left side of the keyboard let down, and I have myself been caught a few times that I just touch the "touch" button which AI Touch Media is booted. Little frustrating during a game. Might have been useful if you could disable the buttons just as you can disable the touch pad. Moreover, on those touch buttons only praise. They respond well. Only the "slider" volume is a little awkward so I'm still prefer to use fn + fn + F7 and F8, etc. The slider for backlight, contrast, it does work perfectly. I've read in other reviews that the touchpad is a bit small, and I can confirm. I immediately connected to a mouse. But it also has to do that I would rather work with a mouse how. But the touchpad is indeed too small, had at least should be. Broader some heat and noise Particularly well. I was really looking. Heat, I have not had any trouble, but I have not been for more than one hour at a stretch seated behind. Sound is fine. Normally, Internet and e-mail is read silently and when you are setting up a game than to the coolers to make some noise, but not distracting. mobility and battery life Well, it's a laptop of 5 kg and nearly half a meter wide. He has to lift, for example, from the table to the couch moving, fine but I would not go along with the toting. The backpack supplied does offer a solution for longer distances. Everything fits in it, including the clumsy heavy power adapter. The battery I have not tested. I'm not going to ever use it. Laptop without AC power Other reviews report a battery life of approximately 60 min That might be right. Would price the cheapest I could find on the internet was in 2195 (thx Tweakers). That is certainly a lot of money, especially if you're going to see what you can get into the desktop. Therefor world Well, it's a bit of a tradeoff. I wanted a high performance desktop, but for the living room, so prefer a laptop. This is exactly what I was looking for, so I would have it on for. "Should" because I have bought for a lot less than 2200 euro .... this 2nd hand If I had to buy him new I might hesitate a little longer ... All in all I am very satisfied. The performance is great, even if you judge him. As desktop fact that he did not lift and a monthly cost than does not matter anymore.
