Cons: CPU fan runs constantly which makes a constant noise (35dB) (this is subjective), Many ports on the right side which can be annoying when using an external mouse, Touchpad buttons are a bit hard to press, Can get warm on the right palm-rest after ...

Verdict: Overall I am very satisfied with this notebook.

Review summary: We quite liked ASUS' charcoal grey styling but it was more of an understated cool than a head turner.

Verdict: Powering the notebook is a 2GHz Pentium M T1500 which was one of the faster chips on show. This, alongside 1GB of RAM and the 100GB hard disk, managed a benchmark score of 0.96 - the highest on show and only four percent behind our reference desktop PC

Review summary: The ASUS V6J is a reasonably compact thin-and-light notebook that has the added bonus of being quite powerful as well.
