+ REVIEWS

NotebookReview reviews the Asus F5R and writes;
“In conclusion the Asus F5R is a basic notebook that will fit the needs of a mainstream user. However, the weak points are battery life, older Core Duo processor instead of the current Core 2 Duo technology, and keyboard with flex. For the price of $900 USD, this notebook does offer a great swivel webcam and a nice chassis design though, and is worth a look if it fits your needs and budget. PROS: Build Quality – Asus build quality lives up to its name, Heat and Noise – The notebook is very quiet and cool, Weight and Dimensions – Regular size, but low weight, Webcam – Swivel Webcam, Screen – It is quite nice. CONS: Performance – compared to today and current competitors it lacks in performance, Battery Life – Low amount of battery life, Keyboard Flex – The keyboard has a considerable amount of flex.”
