With many companies launching their notebooks and compact laptops, there has been a revolution in this field. Hence, with the introduction of the Asus N10 JC, there comes a new sector in the industry of notebooks called the “corporate notebooks”. The term “corporate notebooks” comes because of its optional switchable dedicated graphics and a fashionable design.
There are many configurations of the Asus N10 JC. Some of them offer Windows Vista, while the others provide the customer with a different hard drive or else, they just use an integrated hard disk rather than using the dedicated one.
The specifications of a standard Asus N10 JC are Intel Atom 1.6 GHz processor, a 160 GB hard disk (most probably from Seagate 5411.4), a NVIDIA 9300 GS with 256 MB DDR2 memory, 1GB of DDR2 RAM with Windows XP Home operating system installed. The notebook has a 10.2” WSVGA LCD screen with a 1.3 MP integrated camera. The other features include 3 2.0 USB ports, SD card reader, Ethernet 10/100. It is the most sleekly designed notebook for mobile customers with a weight of just 4lbs with the 6 cell battery included. The notebook also has the general features like headphone jack, microphone input, VGA monitor out, 8-in-1 card reader and Kensington lock slot. It comes with wi-fi availability through 802.11 b/g. The dimensions are 10.8(W) x 8.25 (D) x 1.46(H). Asus provides a two year limited warranty on this product.
Coming to the exterior appearance of the notebook, the Asus N10 JC has a better paint scheme and chrome accents as compared to the other notebooks in this category. The gold and chrome schemes make the look of the notebook very attractive. The screen is bright and very colorful, thus making it very easy to work on it or look at it for hours together. The viewing angles are also much better than the other usual notebooks in this category. It extends to almost 90 degrees. The Synaptics based touchpad is not only larger in size, but also easy to use as compared to the other notebooks. The Asus N10 JC-1A also carries a finger print scanner, thus making the laptop secure and safe for business or personal use.
Like always, this product from Asus is also bundled with some useful software. Apart from the finger lock facility already notified above, it also provides Protector Suite QL, giving you a basic biometric lockdown for your data. This is not the only things you get. Also given is a basic color tweaking application and a DVD software. This DVD software helps in MPEG2 decoding since there’s no optical drive.
Given the features and the number of applications and conveniences offered in this Asus N10 JC, the price is just perfect for mobile workers.
