CNET Asia Review

By Rory Reid, CNET.co.uk
Oct 25, 2006

Excellent

8.4

out of 10

The good: Non-glossy display; spill-proof keyboard; fingerprint reader.

The bad: Anonymous design.

The bottom line: The V1J doesn't come cheap but it offers very solid all-round performance and will suit a wide range of users thanks to its fingerprint reader, spill-proof keyboard and high resolution, non-glossy display.

Pros: Slick Design, ATI X1700
Cons: None, 'yet' (touch wood)
Opinion:
IS this the same model as V1J? I look into Singapore ASUS website V1J dont have Core 2 Duo? Only thing that come close is the F3Jp.

Pros: NA
Cons: NA
Opinion:
Thanks for the observation on the differences between the Asian model and Europe unit. This review was done by our sister site in UK.

We are currently waiting for the Core 2 Duo version test unit to arrive. Keep an eye out for an update of this review.

Singaporean V1J: Everything's great, except for the screen

Oct 26, 2006

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Stable, fast, elegant design, useful docking station
Cons: Grainy glossy WXGA screen
Opinion:
I doubt that the CNET Asia reviewer has actually touched a real asian V1J. It is not using non-glossy WSXGA+ screen like it's European mates. It comes in T7200 and not T5600. It is equipped with 2GB RAM.

The screen is grainy like W3J, before it was patched. I believe this disadvantage is temporary, as ASUS is working out a new BIOS.
