The folks at the Hardware Zone have posted up their first impressions into the new ASUS F3JM no frills notebook. At first glance, the F3JM is rather welll.. boring looking - especially when compared to many of ASUS’s own notebook models. However, if you care less about looks and care more about performance, this notebook is a keeper. Here are some of the basic specs for the F3JM:

  • Intel Core Duo T2300 running at 1.6GHz (although you can get a T2600 at 2.13GHz)
  • 15.4 inch TF LCD screen at 1280 x 800
  • 1GB of DDR2 memory
  • 120GB SATA HDD
  • NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 GPU with 512MB
  • Realtek HD Audio
  • DVD Combo or Super Multi DV+/- RW drive
  • Intel PRO/Wireless
  • Bluetooth 2.0
  • DVI out
  • VGA out
  • 1.3 megapixel digital camera with built in microphone

Here’s their impression:

The F3JM is without any doubt a no-frills gaming notebook that is able to live up to its promise by delivering where it matters most.
