All Asus A52F-EX568V 39.6 cm (15.6 in) Laptop (Intel Pentium Dual Core P6100, 2GHz, 2GB RAM, 320GB HDD, Intel GMA HD DVD Win7 HP) Grey - NEW: Best price Customer reviews 's absolute top-notebook - especially to this price! 
So basically you have to say that the ASUS notebook notebook differs from many very fact that it is "complete" works ...
In detail:
first the design is absolutely TOP - all competitors in this price segment can hide there. Although the optics are a bit subjective, but this device looks very valuable. If you would not know what hardware is installed there (more on that later), then it could also be a device to 500 or 800 or 1,000 euros. Design:
1 However: the very glossy case and the glossy screen are naturally prone to fingerprints - but that the buyer must be aware of when buying such a classy looking part ...
second the processor is a new processor from the summer of 2010. With 2 x 2.0 Ghz it counts, not the fastest, by the set graphics core, it is however, very energy efficient.
A comparison: my old notebook with 42% less processing power needed for 6 hours of operation per day for 62 € more power. Remember, many low-cost airline to offer even a little less money for Paris ... ^ ^
evaluation of the processor for Internet, Office, DVDs / videos look: 2
third the memory is sufficient to 2GB. Less it should not be necessarily more it must not be. Interestingly, even here there is already at the new DDR3 memory. Who would want to upgrade, a So-Dimm memory from Kingston and Samsung now with 1066. Price: 1GB for about 18, -, 2GB for 30, -. Note: 2minus
4th the graph is called simply "Intel HD Video" and does not particularly exciting. Nothing shakes, wobbles nothing - everything is working quite well. And the graphics are (as mentioned above) are incorporated in the processor core. For normal home use is that enough for games, this graphics but not really suitable. And I believe (subjective experience) that this picture is a little lame. So after all the notebook tests I'm not sure if this new Intel high-definition graphics are an absolute hit Sun Although the films are absolutely TOP, but in normal use is not quite a lot about ... Note: 3
5th the hard disk is sufficient to 320GB great - I think. Who needs more should buy a machine with more space, but 320GB (where the equipment is showing just under 300GB) are on the order. What is striking, however: the hard disk seems a little slow. So I have a feeling that a little slow. I still have no idea why this is, but running as wiiiiiiirklich the liquid (even with the graphics) is not.
Nevertheless, 320GB hard drive in cooperation with the rest of the hardware at this price OK. Note: 3
6th the display: aaaaaaaalso who loves reflective displays, this display will love it. It is brightly lit and well, the colors really do absolutely fine. The Black is really a black (and no gray), colors such as red, green or blue are also absolutely powerful ...
Who loves matt displays, this display will hate, because it really reflects very strong. An outdoor work is impossible. You would probably powder can display the nose, to express a pimple can be (a little excessive) - but now let's be honest: for outdoor use, this device is not really suitable.
Conclusion: you know what to order, namely a notebook with a glossy display - and there is more than just neat! Note: 2
7th The DVD burner is a standard part and falls especially not on. Neither positive nor negative. Whether a thing 5 seconds longer needed or 5 seconds shorter, is not really relevant. Note: 2
8th the keyboard is the top - there is not to complain about. After 30 minutes, I write very smoothly and quickly. The number keys are pleasant, although these buttons are a shade smaller than the letter keys. There is nothing that bothers - Note: 2
9th the speakers are really from Altec Lansing and a notebook of this price category TOP. You hear - especially in symphonies - the stereo effect, so as to complement the left speaker to the right speaker. Note 1minus
10th the webcam is rather crap, but to use MSN or SKYPE. With VGA (0.3 megapixels) just the lowest standard - Note: 4
11th of the connections of this part is interesting because - unlike other cheap laptops - also has an HDMI port. Note: 2
What still stands out: the device is extremely cool and extremely quiet. Asus touts the ICE COOL technology - and that is really not a joke. The fan is heard so much as not, the device is only on the left side and again lukewarm. Really incredible what you get here at that price.
Conclusion: new processor (rather average but low power), new DDR3 memory, quite sufficient hard drive, beautiful colors in the display, good keyboard, great speakers, but a very glossy display and a bit smaller number keys. Otherwise, there are in this price range nothing to complain about. If the device 499, - cost, it would surely still be sellable.
Finally, I have bought countless notebooks and notebooks of all those tested and this unit is probably the most complete. In addition, it also looks fabulous. While there are other notebooks with benefits, but these notebooks usually several disadvantages. There are few drawbacks ...
BUYING TIP - if you can get it is to order it without fail!
Excellent value for money The price performance ratio, these laptops can complain really, but first things first:
fans pretty glossy packages will be disappointed: it is a simple printed but functional and sturdy cardboard box that shows through a seal whether the device has been already unpacked. The laptop is stable in the interior built in (also Duch cardboard) and not packed in 100 bags. The few bags are also very nice to open slightly. Unpack tool (other than a small knife for cutting through the seal) is not necessary. The packaging seems to be ASUS also value easy recyclability out to have (but only marginally).
The package contains what you need: laptop, battery, AC adapter, DVD driver for Win7, another DVD with software and manual warranty card.
Since I installed Windows 7 was followed by the driver installation, if fixed. ASUS DVD is inserted software run-watching and let the restart. Tip: In case of installation only one Windows7 User and assign a password, then you have not login manually with each of the many restarts, and afterwards you can change that, either.
The laptop itself seems to me look very good quality, I think it's fancier than in the photos. gerifelte the hand rest feels good on, I think to be heat-bonded with sweaty hands firmly less than a smooth surface that prevents finger marks the surface as well. The pattern on the screen-like back. It is also good that the notebook without the battery inserted, remains stable on the table.
The keyboard itself has to write a good pressure point in size very well, only the cursor keys are placed unusual. Between numeric and alphanumeric keyboard block a small separation is so that you can orient themselves.
The keyboard, however, my criticism is that the entire keyboard when typing cushioned easy especially in the middle of something greater than the outside.
performance standard is expected to be just like the laptop. The current hardware is for office applications, surfing, watching videos, etc. sufficient. The working memory with a size of 2 GB is pretty tight with at Windows7, but for me was just one of the two memory banks with a 2Gb bars fitted so that a upgrade - in my case to 4 Gb (if everything goes I do not know) - child's play. can from a 0.3 MP camera, one should expect no more than the opportunity for video chats, the accompanying person recognition software seems to work so well, but a printable photo you do not create it.
The advantage of the CPU is that it is very energy efficient and apparently emits very little heat, the notebook has no ambitions to be a fan heater, it is more than that is not still warm, I can hear the fan really.
think all in all, I for the price of a top unit (which also has problems in front of higher-priced equipment do not need to hide) (suitable and also for XP!)
Very good value for money 
This notebook can be naturally operate with Windows XP! - Nix as XP-incompatible! The device is only for Windows 7 pre-configured!
You just need to know how it goes;)
first XP drivers from the ASUS download site (which unfortunately are not there!)
second In the BIOS the HDD controller on "IDE"
convert third who wants to can also delete the same the second partition (for the included PC-DOS) and partition the new HD, which you have not!
4th Hard drive with the NTFS format
5th WinXP install
Now you can download the latest drivers for the graphics chip from Intel and that's it.
The reference of the correct driver is unfortunately a bit tedious: Sometimes, several drivers for certain components of this series and available from the documentation does not indicate which chip here has just been installed. In addition, the download server not the fastest (even temporarily unreachable).
However, ASUS had the XP driver so can put the same with the drivers CD. Therefore, and for the complicated terms of the drivers, there's a point deduction.
But otherwise it makes the notebook a very good impression.
Conclusion: If using the appropriate PC-knowledge (with respect to operating system and BIOS) should have, here safely access!
