Asus V6J Series (Core 2 Duo) Reviewed

asus-v6j-topflop.jpgAsus V6J series notebook, reviewed by NotebookReview, is a 15.1″ normal aspect ratio laptop built around Core 2 Duo T7400(2.16 GHz) CPU. NBR Reviewer writes about this notebook:”

The V6J series notebook by Asus is the most recent incarnation of the V6V. Both of these notebooks are in the thin and light category. Both are built for style. The clean lines of the design mixed with brushed aluminum and polycarbonate material, not only make this notebook beautiful to look at, but rock solid and durable.

This is by far one of the most incredible laptops I have ever owned, or been privy to play with extensively. It is sleek and stylish and with the Core 2 Duo CPU it is smoking fast. It has great GPU power for the money and is highly customizable from a number of places. I recommend BTOTech for the great buying experience, fast ship times, and generally knowledgeable crew. I hope this machine has good longevity and holds up well…it seems, by the feel of it so far, that it will. The only thing I would like to see for this machine that’s not offered is widescreen as well as a fingerprint reader for security and convenience. ”
