ASUS U35F-X1 Thin and Light 13.3-Inch Laptop (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After a great deal of personal debate I decided to go with the Asus U35F because of the overall build, less than an inch thick, long run time, and a much stronger processor than you would get in any netbook or culv laptop. After playing with it for a while I would say that for the most part I love this laptop. The build quality very good, the keyboard is better than most and the touch pad is very nice. For those that may be wondering the touchpad is slightly pitted so you can feel when you are on it. I set it up so that a 2-finger tap is a right mouse click and a 3-finger tap closes the active window.
As for the decision to go without the dedicated graphics...it plays every type of streaming video file I can throw at it including 1080P youtube videos without a single studder or issue. For those of you that think you are going to find a use for the dedicated graphics I think you are fooling yourselves. There is not much you can't do without it other than play graphic intensive games and you can't really do that with a 310M anyway.
On the negative side...this is the worst screen I have ever used in terms of vertical viewing angle. I do not exagerate when I say that you have about 10 degrees up or down before you get serious color inversion and whiteout if you are above the screen.
All in all though since you should generally be directly in front of the screen and I'm sure other screens in this price range are not the best on the market either I would reccomend this laptop to anyone. Overall awesome laptop!
