Expert Review:

ASUSTeK which became popular with its low cost Eee PC range of personal computers has come out with a higher performing model in the X51 range of PCs. They are robust and have attractive look.

With overall dimensions of 14.4 x 10.4 x 1.4 in and a weight of 6.2 lbs, the Asus X51 small laptop is compact and portable. The 15.4″ BrightView WXGA display with a pixel resolution of 1280 x 800 is bright with good contrast.

The small laptop is powered by Intel T2310 Pentium Dual Core Processor with 1.46GHz CPU speed, 533MHz FSB, and 1MB Cache. Other models in this range powered by either Intel Celeron M or Intel Dual Core T2080 processor are available. Expandability depending on one’s needs is possible with the X51 range of PCs. The hard disk is a 160 GB 5400 rpm Hitachi make. The laptop has generous 4 USB ports as well as a Wifi card, 56 Kbps modem and a 10/100 LAN that take care of external connectivity.

The Asus X51 small laptop is run by Windows Vista Home Premium OS and powered by 4 Li-Ion cells 4400 mAH battery with a life of about 2.5 hours under normal use. The notebook is provided with two years limited global warranty.

To summarize, the Asus X51 small laptop is reasonably priced and has all necessary features for everyday use. Its performance is just sufficient for Windows Vista and may not be suitable for game freaks.
