ASUS V1J Notebook Review

CNET have recently reviewed the ASUS V1J , an Intel® Core™ Duo Processor T2400 Sequence: 1.8GHz, 2MB On-Die L2 Cache, 667 MHz notebook features ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 256 MB, 512MB with TurboCache, SD/MMC/MS/MS PRO card reader, and 15.4″ (WSXGA+) Color Shine LCD 1680 x 1050 Resolution Zero Bright Dot.

They rate the notebook 8.4/10 and write;

“We were generally impressed by the V1J’s performance. It scored a very commendable 3,995 in PCMark 2005 — far more than the multimedia-oriented A7Tc which scored 2,969 and had a very similar specification.Gaming prowess was commendable, but the A7Tc just pipped it. The V1J scored 1,783 in 3DMark 2006 versus the A7Tc’s 2,350. The V1J managed to run F.E.A.R at 21fps with the maximum detail settings (minus anisotropic filtering) enabled at a resolution of 1,024×768.Battery life was commendable but hardly staggering. The V1J lasted 210 minutes in our MobileMark 2005 test, and 170 minutes during DVD playback — more than long enough to watch an average movie or a few episodes of Lost.”
