Reviews of the Asus N10J-A1
-
CNET Review
The Good: In a Netbook first, it includes a dedicated graphics chip, which can be switched off to extend battery life; decent keyboard; excellent battery life, especially with GeForce graphics turned off; HDMI port and ExpressCard slot are useful bonuses.
The Bad: Low screen resolution won't appeal to all gamers; underpowered Intel Atom CPU is far from ideal for graphics-heavy applications; high price.
The Bottom Line: It may look like your standard Netbook, but the Asus N10J is unique because underneath it features discrete, switchable graphics. You'll pay a bit more for the privilege, but the end result works for gaming on the go, as long as you don't mind dialing down your game settings.

Review Summary: A serious-faced netbook for professional types, but can the NVIDIA-packing N10J overcome Atom's shortcomings?

Review Summary: The N10J-A2's Altec Lansing speakers produced sound that was louder than your average netbook's, but still not quite what you'd expect from a larger notebook. The quality, however, was pleasant; it wasn't too tinny when we streamed Internet radio.
