Conclusion
ASUS’ designers and engineers have introduced yet another interesting product. The F5R features a good chassis that could accommodate a more serious configuration, but it looks good even with a Celeron M and an integrated graphics core. This notebook is meant for office applications as is emphasized by the possibility of using its touchpad as a calculator.
Highs:
