Asus W2Pb-7M005C Review

by Carla Thornton

- The W2Pb-7M005C's slender, dark case conceals a broad array of desktop replacement features, including a high-resolution, 17-inch WSXGA+ screen and a good keyboard. With its light weight and beautiful-sounding speakers, this laptop would be a great choice for mobile presenters. The unit's 2.7-hour battery life is unusually long for a notebook in this class. And its built-in TV tuner, digital antenna, and 160GB hard drive enable you to record the evening news wherever you are and then kick back on your hotel bed with the remote control at the end of the day. For all of these reasons the W2Pb made a strong push for inclusion on our Top 5 chart. Unfortunately, at $2899 (as of April 11, 2007) it's pricey even for a notebook with a 17-inch screen.
