ASUS M6000
Wednesday March 02, 2005
ASUS
For such a high specification machine with a large display, we didn’t have high expectations of battery life. We were wrong. Not only is this one of the best looking and functional notebooks we’ve played with in some time, but this notebook managed to stay operating at full load with a looping productivity test for well over three and a half hours – enough for students, road warriors and home users.
If money is no object and the allure of widescreen multimedia on the go appeals, look no further.
