The A8JR uses an Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 processor, which runs at 1.66GHz. This is easily fast enough for day-to-day tasks like surfing the internet and office applications. It’s dual-core, so you can run optimised applications at impressive speeds and complete demanding tasks like video encoding quickly. There’s 1GB of RAM supplied, which is sufficient for running Windows Vista smoothly. If you need to upgrade to 2GB later, there’s an easily accessible spare memory slot available too.
Windows Vista Home Premium is installed as standard, and it takes up the best part of 10GB of hard disk space. Fortunately, there’s plenty of room left over on the 160GB hard disk for storing big video files or an extensive music collection.

Review By Ecoustics.
The rounded silver-and-black chassis won’t elicit stares, but it’s attractive. The full-sized keyboard is comfortable, as is the large, smooth touchpad. The pad’s integrated mouse buttons are a bit stiff, and with just a thin line differentiating the button area from the touchpad area, it’s easy to press the corner of the touchpad when you mean to hit a mouse button. More annoying is the lack of dedicated multimedia control keys. And on our model, the Function-key combo to toggle Wi-Fi on and off didn’t work, nor did the preloaded Asus Net Switch utility; we had to use Vista’s Network Diagnostic tool to enable the radio.

Review By Pcpro
The A8JR’s simple and slender silver casing means it’s better looking than the vast majority of budget laptops. As it only houses a 14.1in screen, it’s smaller than the more common 15.4in screen laptops and weighs only 2.4kg, making it rather portable. It’s a shame that such a portable laptop is hamstrung by disappointing battery life. It lasted just two hours in our light use test, so it isn’t ideal for working on the go and it won’t even make it through a DVD movie either.
