Expert tester comments
The ASUS BR1100FK is designed for schools that need to deploy laptops to students. It is a low-powered device (running an Intel Celeron CPU) that can be used for basic Web-based tasks, video streaming, and online communications. The build quality is strong, and it features textured lid and base panels that can reduce the risk of it slipping out of the hand when being carried. A convertible form factor means it can be used as a tablet or display device, and there is a stylus stowed in the base that can facilitate handwriting and drawing tasks.
