ASUS Vivobook V551LB-DB71T 15.6-Inch Discounts

Computer Whiz (NY) :
I am wondering if the reviewer who gave the one star is knowledgeable at all about computers. I design them and I have to say the low power cpu, 15 w compared to one using much more translates into long battery life. Face it if you just use a base number and say it is terrible, you dont understand that the cpu speed scales with need. most time in a computer the cpu does little and its response is not required to be fast for those tasks as it is wasting power. this cpu can run from 1.8 to over 3 ghz depending on the need and allowing lower power consumption. The new Haswell processor also has a number of features that make it more efficient at lower speed meaning to accomplish a task it does not need to run as fast as an older processor to do the same work. Maybe the person giving only one star works for apple, or maybe is just computer illiterate but either way it is saddening to see ranting rather than facts in reviews.

VKA (USA) :
Low power CPU's are usually more expensive and have lower speed. Most of MacBook Air use these family of CPUs.
If you want higher speeds, then it will overheat like an oven where you can fry an egg.
So, choice is yours. I prefer low power CPUs. Now they are able to make up to 2GHZ and 3GHz in turbo mode based on current available technology.

Why would you spend that much for a computer with a 1.8 processor....5400 hard drive....slow stuff...$$$too much you can find much faster machines ...for the same price...unless you just want a fashion statement ...buy a MAC if you need to throw money away.
