Esther’s new laptop
After Grace got her Lenovo Miix 2, the Acer AspireOne (2009) was given to Esther. But the Acer was really rather slow and not too effective, and with a dying battery. So Esther asked for a newer laptop. We searched around and found a good deal in the Asus TP200SA, with several good features: Intel N3050 processor with 2GB RAM, 11.6″ 1366×768 10-points touch-screen, built-in 64GB memory, light-weight and low-power (8 hrs on battery), tablet mode, decent processor and memory, USB2, USB3 and USB3.1 (type-C) ports, micro HDMI, Micro-SD slot and full keyboard with touch-pad. The dark-blue unit costs $499 and runs on Windows 10. Comes with 3 years free anti-virus.
We bought a 64GB micro-SD card to function as a built-in data hard drive.
Here’s a look at the keyboard details
The dark-blue cover and body is rather nice.
Unfortunately, there is no bundled office software, so we downloaded and installed Apache Openoffice. Esther paid out of her savings half of the total cost for the laptop and accessories.
