Well, it doesn’t seem like it, but I’ve been blogging here for the past three weeks, and this week presents my last week with the Asus N80 laptop. I’ve had some fun times with it, and I hope over the next two blog posts to be able to give my concluding thoughts on it – just how well does it would work for the average Joe Business User, and does it provide value for money?
Any true businessperson owns a Blackberry or some form of mobile device that can keep them truly in touch with the outside world whilst they’re on the move. I’m going to be looking at how the Asus N80 performs when I try to sync my Blackberry Bold phone to it, to copy emails and calendar information.
In this blog post I will be talking about the external ports on the Asus N80Vc – where are they positioned on the case? Are they well positioned for a business user? And how many are there compared to other laptops?
As I didn’t have enough space in my last blog post to let you know about the third-party software which comes pre-installed, today I’m going to run through this and will install some software of my own to see how well the Core 2 Duo 2GHz processors and 3GB RAM are working.
It’s about time that I run through the software which is bundled with the Asus N80.
There are a number of manufacturer-based applications and third-party applications included when opening the box, and I will run through the main software included and what it is used for in today’s blog post. I’ll also add some software myself, and see how the laptop fares.
It’s that time of the week again – a post from your favourite blogger here on Electricpig! Only joking. I’m going to be testing the speed and performance of the Asus N80 laptop today, seeing how it compares to my Pentium D 2.2GHz base computer, and my old single core Celeron M 1.5GHz laptop.
Today’s blog post is all about the battery life and versatility of the Asus N80Vc – just how good is it as a portable business laptop?
Other functions of the laptop do make it appealing toward the business user. It has an in-built 1.3-megapixel webcam, very useful for video-conferencing and video-calling. I tried this with a few of my friends, and found that even in lower light conditions the webcam performed surprisingly well. The Asus N80 also includes a fingerprint reader, which provides an extra level of security – a must nowadays with the amount of password bypassing programs available to hackers and the like.
