The Asus has a large display, but the design is neither bulky nor expansive. It can therefore be easily transported in a rucksack. It is also quite light for a 16-inch model. Shortcoming: The screen could show colours more vividly. However, the speed is fast and the battery life is long. In the end, it is the deserved test winner.
