Reviews:
“The Asus N10J is unique because underneath it features discrete, switchable graphics. You’ll pay a bit more for the privilege, but the end result works for gaming on the go, as long as you don’t mind dialing down your game settings” – (CNET Central, 2009)
“The N10J-A2’s Altec Lansing speakers produced sound that was louder than your average netbook’s, but still not quite what you’d expect from a larger notebook. The quality, however, was pleasant; it wasn’t too tinny when we streamed Internet radio” (Laptop Mag, 2009)
“The final question: Is the N10E worth it or not? Definitely, if you are looking for a small notebook that can handle standard office tasks with ease” – (Notebook Check, 2009)
