Which Asus F3 or F5

davidbotly

Hi

Have been studying Asus series for a while now and have come across two that I really like. Any opinions on the difference between f3 and f5 series would be welcomed as they seem pretty similar! Which one is the most recent?

These two I'm pondering over at the mo - any recommendations?

I've always been a fan of Asus - good value for money with usually a decent spec. As far as I'm aware, they are almost the same machines, with a few subtle differences:

F3:

- Faster processor (2GHz vs 1.66 GHz)
- DVI port
- Card reader
- Slightly heavier (~2.8 - 3kg vs ~2.6kg)

(this is basically what I can deduce from analysing your links)

The F3 even says it comes with an optical mouse and a case, which is a nice touch...

Given what has been mentioned, and if you don't plan to cart it with you on a daily basis from one place to another, I'd be tempted to go for the F3 personally.
