Reviews for the Asus R1F

Asus R1F

The packaging that ASUS R1F arrives in is just like any other at first glance. Using a highly trained and sophisticated move, we open the box and find a bag and another two boxes. We take the more elegant one and find cables, battery and the rest of the package inside, but no laptop. We take the other box, which is rather simple-looking, and open it, only to find a fourth box inside. OK, someone really decided to lengthen that sweet impatience every buyer has. Safety is becoming more and more of a factor, so ASUS R1F is equipped with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM), and the fingerprint reader is an additional form of protection. Alongside all sorts of hardware solutions, ASUS Splendid Video Intelligence is something worth mentioning, as it provides a better image quality.

Asus R1 Tablet PC with Vista User Review
Source: Tablet PC Review Archive.org version
The Asus R1 is my first laptop, plus it is a Tablet PC, which in my opinion makes it worth the money. I am completely happy with my purchase and would never pick another computer. If this computer was stolen or destroyed I would not hesitate to get another R1. There are very few cons to this computer. The pros are overwhelming, I mean this computer is fast and efficient. Not only that, but it has an attractive design and the Tablet factor is astonishing. I recommend this computer to everyone. It took me a while to think of cons for this computer, as you can see below they are super minor. Great computer!!!

Asus R1F Notebook to Tablet PC Convertible Review
Source: Notebookreview.com Archive.org version
Considering all the features you get for the price, which is affordable at around $1,500, it is hard to pass up on the Asus R1F if you're looking for a notebook with the added Tablet PC functionality. It features good performance with its Core 2 Duo processor and ample storage with up to a 120GB hard drive. It's not too heavy or too big to take on trips or hold while standing for awhile. If you use the Splendid Video Technology movies look great, despite some graininess due to the Wacom screen layer. The plastic housing is a little cheap feeling, but the R1F is still durable. The plastic housing helps keep the cost and weight down as well. I enjoyed the R1F in both notebook and Tablet mode, nothing beats writing on the screen especially when you are in a hurry. The screen can double as one big post-it-note and the R1F definitely helped keep me organized.

Touch me! - Test Asus R1F

I've mentioned a lot of good things about the R1F, because it really is great - it's a quality machine inside and out. So I'll only mention the cons - which for me is the scratches on the tablet pen (because of the pen-slot not being smooth on the inside), the plastic notebook casing (I wish it was metal!), and the non-airbag fitted hard drive (such as the IBM X-tablet). Other than that, if you want the best tablet PC cheaper than other like brands, the R1F is the cream of the crop. The Fujitsu T4210 has a smaller screen, doesn't have a sharp design and is more expensive, and the Toshiba R25 looks boring, is heavy and looks boring. They were my 3 contenders. ASUS R1F can be proudly named Ms Universe of tablet PCs (for now).

Comment

Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950: Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 is an integrated (onboard) graphic chip on Mobile Intel 945GM chipset. It is a faster clocked version of the GMA 900 and supports no hardware T&L (Transform & Lightning) accelleration (which is required for some games).

These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.

Intel Core Duo: Double Core processor with a very good relation of performance to current consumption. The 2 MB L2 Cache are used together by the double. The maximum capacity of 31 watts is only 4 watts more than with the Pentium M (predecessor). Both cores are lowered automatically and independently of each other by speed steps down to 1 GHz. In addition it now supports also SSE3 instructions. At least it is just as fast as a equivalent Pentium M. With applications, which were designed for multi-processors, the performance can be nearly twice as fast as with the Pentium M (e.g. CineBench around 86% fast)

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
