Model: The ASUSPRO series is designed for those who wish to own a high-quality business notebook, and it certainly performs up to expectations. With the BU201 having a simple yet durable dark grey plastic casing, it forgoes design elements as it is simply a working device. Weighing in at only 1.36 kg, it is rather light to carry around for business and a height of 21 mm just makes it comparable to ultrabooks. Besides that, it has a matte 12.5 inch IPS display screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio and a resolution of up to 1920 x 1080 pixels. It features an Intel Core i5, an Intel HD Graphics 4400, 4 GB of single-channel DDR3 RAM as well as a 500 GB Toshiba HDD.

In addition, the BU201 delivers three USB 3.0 ports, a VGA output, a Mini-DisplayPort, a Kensington Lock for security, a 3.5 mm stereo jack, a 4-in-1 card reader, a SmartCard reader and a fingerprint reader. Additionally, it has a standard 11ac Intel WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 card for connectivity, and a 0.9 MP front webcam. Finally, the BU201 is powered by a 32 Wh lithium ion battery, which can last up to 7 hours with minimal settings.

Intel HD Graphics 4400:

ULV integrated GPU (GT2) with 20 EUs found on certain Haswell CPU models.

4210U: Haswell-based ULV dual-core processor clocked at 1.7 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 2.7 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4400 and a dual-channel DDR3 memory controller.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

12.50":

This range of display format is largely the upper limit for tablets and the lower limit for subnotebooks.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small in size and therefore easily portable. The tiny display has the added advantage of requiring little power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is exhausting for the eyes. High resolutions, which one is used to from a standard laptop, are almost not usable.

The same applies to tablets in this size range.

Customer satisfaction with ASUS notebooks concerns performance, the features, and the good price-performance ratio of ASUS notebooks. However, as with any brand, there are occasional reports of problems such as overheating, driver compatibility, or build quality issues.

86%: This is an above-average rating. Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that about one fifth of all tested models receive a better rating.
