The Asus EeeBook X205 is a laptop for someone who likes the size and price of the typical Chromebook, but doesn't understand why you'd want to buy a laptop that can't run desktop Windows apps. It's also a laptop for fans of netbooks who have been using...
Low weight, Long battery life, Acceptable system performance, Brightness and contrast, Silent and relatively cool
Poor web cam, ClickPad without multi-touch, USB 3.0 only, Glare-type screen
EeeBook X205TA-FD005BS Browsing and office machine with a good screenAsus reduces the core properties of a netbook to a common denominator without forgoing a certain degree of quality and looks. The EeePC revival is handy, long lasting, and is equipped wi...
Bright screen; Very lightweight under a kilogram and easy to carry; Relatively comfortable typing experience, though mostly for new typists; Expandable via microSD; One year of Microsoft's Office 365 included in the box;
No touchscreen; Proprietary charge connector; 32GB storage isn't enough, with only 15GB available out of the box; Mouse feels very cheap and doesn't appear to support all gestures; No USB 3.0, only USB 2.0; Screen washes out at angles easily; No 802.11ac
If you're buying for someone where the weight matters, the Asus X205TA is a decent option as it provides Windows 8 on a budget with a soft keyboard and enough battery life to get a whole day of school work done.The glossy screen may throw some people beca...

sleek and light, decent keyboard, can handle daily tasks and multimedia activities, lasts for a long while on a charge, very affordable
miniaturized ports, erratic touchpad, limited onboard storage space
The Asus EeeBook X205TA sure offers plenty for the $199 you'll have to pay for it and is a thin and light laptop suitable for kids, for travel and all of you looking for a small device that runs Windows and the compatible software. It's not without flaws ...

Abstract: Budget laptops are ruling laptop volume sales at the moment, thanks to Chromebook, and that's been enough to make Asus take note. The company's new EeeBook X205 is a reimagination of the 2007 Eee PC in a refreshed format, some seven years on. If you're no...
