Asus N81Vp


$1,250.00 Released September, 2009

Product Shot 1 The Pros:Great performance for the price. Great performance for the size. Graphics card can play more graphic intensive games like Crysis on decent settings.

The Cons:Under 3 hour battery life isn't good, with no bigger options available. Performance comes at the cost of size and weight. Shiny surfaces attract fingerprints.
