Not long ago, Asustek Computer, internationally renowned IT companies to the business areas, massive attack, launched a series of distinguished business, mobile commerce series, series of all-round business and handwriting Business Series, including the full range of business notebooks new, which is fully representative works for the business market - The V1J more interpretation of a new concept in today's entertainment business, weekdays dull business computer also rejuvenated.
The business market can be said that one of the oldest areas, many manufacturers have business series as the embodiment of their own strength. The Core 2 Duo models for high-level business elite, the full integration of the advantage of the ASUS R & D manufacturing and design, rich set of performance, worry-free applications, and the pleasant, tactile and other sensory experiences in one, designed for demanding business people are tailored.
As the atmosphere of a 15.4-inch, V1J has a very open view of the gorgeous widescreen, maximum support 1680 1050 resolution screen, to provide you with a wider breadth and perspective, add the ASUS exclusive Splendid Video Intelligence technology, the more effective adjust color, brightness, contrast and sharpness, the most active and vibrant colors and contrast.

Workmanship and design
V1s done very thin, and looks incredible. The battery module is very easy to install. The feel of the keyboard keys not strong my SONY laptop. Metal material shell and palm rest, LED and interface output design is very reasonable, and vents at the bottom, and to achieve better cooling results. Screen will appear wavy shell force, but the palm rest no matter how hard are not deformed. The keyboard feel is very strong and solid. The palm rest is a metal alloy, so so hard. Screen axis is very compact, notebook mobile screen does not shake the phenomenon. Notebook chassis with plastic materials, but very strong. I estimate that the casing is a magnesium alloy.
Case
Nobel lot's will be jealous. Anthracite combined with black colors glow in the sunlight, silver moldings and dark aluminum moldings enhance the design.
Here are also the first cons: The flexural rigidity of the case should be improved. If you press the palm rest areas or pick it up at one of the sides, you'll hear some creaking noises. It is easy to push the case in by applying only moderate force. If you press in front of the right touch pad button, you can even emulate a click.
But, there are also pros: The materials seem to be of high-quality ASUS V1J battery, the shimmering in the sunlight hints on a kind of plastic-magnesium composite material, the display cover is sufficiently stable and it hardly blurs, when pressing the display cover in.
The hinges sufficiently stabilizes the display's position and allow an opening angle above 180. Feature: The display does not have a transport hook and can easily be opened at the frame of the camera, which exceeds the case a little bit.
Another features is the water-proof keyboard: The complete keyboard is placed on a sealed-off tray, so water cannot percolate through it to the main-board.
Interfaces
The equipment with ports is very complete, new standards like eSATA and HDMI are availbe. AModule Bay for easily removing the DVD drive (even if turned on) and adding an additional hard disk or supplement battery, and a camera, and fingerprint reader make it perfectly equipped.
Furthermore, two MiniCard (miniPCI v2.0) slots for Intel TurboMemory and UMTS/HSDPA, or other extension cards are available. But, you'll need to completely ASUS V1S battery open the case in order to add them.
Input Devices
Stable keys, clear and hard point of pressure and long travel (2,5mm) make it a user-friendly keyboard for powerful fingers. The keyboard does not yield at all during typing, and besides the enter key none of the keys clatter. Typing feels nearly alike on a desktop keyboard. However, the cursor keys are a little small, and the FN-key's place left beside the Ctrl-key might need some time of adaption for all those who are used to the other order, but, it eases the use of the blue labeled num pad and special keys.
The key is also kind of glossily coated. It seems like a film of tried glue and should presumably protect the keys against wear and increases the user-friendliness of typing.
The touch pad reacts very well to the moving fingers, and its slightly roughened surface make it user-friendly. Its buttons are a little small, because a fingerprint reader is provided in between them. Furthermore, you'll need some force to click them, making clicking a little cumbersome for the fingers.
Display
The matt WSXGA+ display with a resolution of 1680x1050 pixels is excellently bright, has beautiful colors and a comfortable contrast. The high resolution ensure brilliant overview, two Word documents or two Windows Explorer windows can be easily displayed beside each other, and so increase user-friendliness in many situations.
The display is also perfectly legible in direct sunlight from the back, so making a trouble-free outdoor usage possible.
Typical matt display, the display ASUS V1 Series battery is somewhat grainy, which can easily be verified with white background colors, but there is no further impact on the display quality.
The viewing angles of the display are excellent, horizontally, the displayed colors nearly stay the same and the contents legible even at 180. Vertically, the viewing angles are also very good.
Only white areas change to a warm yellow, if you look from one of the sides.
Performance
Actually, the focus should be on office performance in the business notebook class. But, also the video performance of the Asus V1S is very good. So, it is also an attractive notebook for gamers.
The V1S is comparable to gamer notebooks like the Acer Aspire 5920, the Zepto Znote 6625WD or Nexoc Osiris E619.
