ASUS AIR: Compare prices

By Craig Simms on 02/04/2008

More Asus reviews , RRP: AU$299.00

The good:

  • Easy to use Internet radio
  • Looks more like an appliance than a computing product
  • Can be used as a speaker for another device

The bad:

  • Volume knob is not always used for volume
  • Sound quality could be better
  • Not portable -- needs to be plugged into the wall
  • Low quality screen

The bottomline:

The ASUS AIR does the job it's intended to do, with a few hiccups. Internet radio though seems more like a "tick-the-box" feature of a full-fledged streaming device, rather than a standalone product like the AIR.
