Quick review

The good
Fairly low cost powerful multimedia notebook
The bad
Very uncomfortable keyboard to type with, awkward touchpad, unnecessarily bulky design
Verdict
An odd choice of chassis by Asus lets down this otherwise, on paper, good multimedia notebook; but in reality it’s a clumsily put together machine
