Asus F70 Review
______________

Asus are in fine form recently and despite the global economic downturn they continue to produce a relentless stream of quality products. While many of you might know them primarily for the award winning motherboards they also have a huge range of personal computers with the focus being on laptops.

Today we’ll be taking a look at the Asus F70 laptop, a basic Multimedia machine that slots in at the £750 mark making it a viable option for those who don't want to spend more on a Sony or Apple.

Purely from the specs, I can't say I am impressed. They should go with a 15" model and 200 down, then I would be impressed. Although I still don't understand what is wrong with almost everyone and keep installing 32bit version of OS in their machines.

Yeah that's one major draw back from Asus. They insist that 32bit is what people want.

Drives me nuts. They must figure installing 2 2gig sticks is cheaper than installing a 1gig and a 2gig. So they can use the same ram on all the computers etc.

Other than that this laptop I really like. It is very big, but I hope they keep up the looks since I really like how this one looks! Asus does not have a ton of style but they seem like they are working on it!

Great review but I would like to see it perform better in areas such as battery life.

(The 32 bit OS thing has been brought up before and isn't exclusive to ASUS)
