Price
AU$3630.00
Review Date
Wednesday, 6th of August, 2008
Features
Processor : Intel Core 2 Duo Processor U7700
What's Hot
Built-in 3G module, great battery life, very light, built-in optical drive, plenty of ports
What's Not
Gets noticeably warm, screen has narrow vertical viewing angle, hard drive was slow, touchpad is sticky
The Final Word
It's well-suited to road warriors thanks to its light weight and built-in 3G module, but it's still not the perfect laptop. If you're going to go for the R500, opt for a solid-state drive instead of a conventional hard drive.
