Asus U46E-BAL6 Review - Watch CNET's Video & Read Our Review. Recently, I realized that my old Dell Inspiron Duo was getting slow and laggy. The Atom processor just couldn't handle all the business apps I was running simultaneously anymore. It did the job; but, I spent a lot of time waiting. So, I began a search for a mid-range notebook computer with lots of RAM, and a fast processor. But, I didn't want to spend Apple prices; I wanted everything for less than $800. Little did I know that I would end up with a high-end ultralight whose specs blew away the competition for less money. Nirvana. The Asus mid range notebook line is led by the $829 U46E. It has the fastest processor money can buy - the Core I-7. It has 8 Gigabytes of RAM, enough to run dozens of apps simultaneously. It has a huge 750 Gigabyte hard drive, which will never fill up. This thing flies. Zip, zip and work is done. Compare this to other computers, and they all cost several hundred dollars more, and have inferior specs. The best part is that, when I finally found one, the only one left was the demo model, which had been discounted to $700, which I got further discounted to $679. And, it weighs less than 5 pounds. This thing isn't the most svelte at the dance; but it is easily transported back and forth. Don't buy a new computer until you spend some time with this guy at the store.
